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 et le monde qui change : ses défis, ses bizarreries, ses espoirs.

Pensée à l’origine comme une micro-société de productions documentaires, principalement pour auto-produire mes films, cette aventure 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 un grand terrain d’explorations artistiques, un prétexte pour aborder ce qui me touche, m’interpelle ou me révolte. Transformer des pensées et rencontres en histoires qui puissent faire écho chez l’Autre.

« Tout va vite », dit-on… Doit-on suivre les tendances ? J’aime l’idée de 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 : partager, découvrir, débattre, rêver.
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 and the changing world: its challenges, its quirks, its hopes.

Originally conceived as a documentary production micro-company, mainly to self-produce my films, this adventure has turned over the years into an ever more personal project. My own background, my role as a father, my curiosity and my sensitivity to the world around us have led me to open up to other forms of expression.

Films, photography, writing, micro-publishing… I see Amerigo Park as a great field for artistic explorations, a pretext to address what touches me, challenges me or revolts me. Transform thoughts and encounters into stories that can resonate with the Other.

«Everything goes fast», they say… Should we follow trends? I like the idea of getting out of the flow and imposed currents to find a place in the real world, that of social interactions and the living. Art as a pretext for meeting: share, discover, debate, dream.

Everything is possible and I don’t know where this adventure will take me … which is, I guess, the definition of Adventure!

(Short CV)

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.
