Amerigo Park :
Transformer des pensées et des rencontres en histoires

(FR)

« Qui es tu ? » Un rêveur, certainement.
Mes rêves évoluent avec le temps qui passe, avec le monde qui change.

Pensée à l’origine comme une micro-société de productions documentaires, principalement pour auto-produire mes films, Amerigo Park s’est transformée, au fil des ans, en un projet toujours plus personnel. Mon propres parcours, mon rôle de père, ma curiosité et ma sensibilité au monde qui nous entoure m’ont amenés à m’ouvrir à d’autres formes d’expression.

Films, photographie, écriture, micro-édition… Je vois Amerigo Park comme mon grand terrain d’explorations artistiques, un prétexte pour aborder ce qui me touche, m’interpelle, me révolte. Transformer des pensées et des rencontres en histoires, des peurs et des espoirs en messages.

« Tout va vite », dit-on… Doit-on suivre les tendances ?
Sortir du flux et des courants imposés pour trouver une place dans le monde réel, celui des interactions sociales et des vivants.
L’Art comme prétexte à la rencontre.
Tout est possible et je ne sais pas où cette aventure m’emmènera …
Ce qui est, je crois, la définition de l’Aventure. »

« Who are you? » A dreamer, certainly.

My dreams evolve with the passing of time, with the changing world.

Originally conceived as a small documentary production company, primarily to self-produce my films, Amerigo Park has transformed, over the years, into an increasingly personal project. My own journey, my role as a father, my curiosity, and my sensitivity to the world around us have led me to explore other forms of expression.

Films, photography, writing, micro-publishing… I see Amerigo Park as my vast playground for artistic exploration, a pretext for addressing what moves me, challenges me, and revolts me. Transforming thoughts and encounters into stories, fears and hopes into messages.

« Everything moves fast, » they say… Should we follow the trends?

To break free from the imposed flow and currents to find a place in the real world, the world of social interactions and living beings.
Art as a pretext for encounter.
Everything is possible, and I don’t know where this adventure will take me…
Which, I believe, is the definition of Adventure.

After his master’s degree in cultural mediation at the University of Liège, Jérémy Parotte will work for an NGO in Peru, get involved in various community projects, create a charitable music festival, and work on communication for a company before launching, in 2013, in an entrepreneurial adventure by co-founding the audiovisual agency Otra Vista. Still active to this day, the company mainly focuses on commissioned projects whose favorite themes are ecological transition, resilience, food, education and even collaborations with the cultural sector. Rich in a wide variety of professional and human experiences, behind the production of a bunch of short reportage and commissioned documentary projects for more than 10 years, he turned with passion to independent documentary from 2019 by producing first the film “Sur les Voix des Amériques” by Julien Defourny (Ushuaia TV prize in 2021) and then directing his first two films “Rien que la vérité” and “After the rain”. The latter, co-directed with Quentin Noirfalisse, is released in theaters throughout Wallonia and Brussels from June 2024. He currently divides his time between personal film and creative projects, one-off commission projects and his large family.
