The appearance of Aids unleashed media hysteria in favor of a rapid return of a moral order.Faced with this situation of denunciation, victimization and discrimination against people living with Aids, this film, using a specific visual form, attempts to articulate a condemnation of the use which is made of the illness, the form is a “cine-tract”. The film reveals itself through its oration, it is in fact a film of words.
The use of text allows a distanciation in relation to the effects being used, these are reintroduced by the appearance and treatment of the words which condition the reading of the film, here is the violence of the film which literally partners the act denunciation.
A critique of the arguments and images in other words of the consummation of the words which surround Aids. SID A IDS primarily investigates the reaction to the illness in the context of a French vantage point. The film attempts to favourise an emerging reflection on Aids while remaining within the practice of experimental cinema.
