[Frameworks] 1970s French short film

[Michael Lee]

Hi All,

I saw a clip on YouTube a year ago or more of a performance piece involving
film and "painting".  I believe the artist was French--I'm almost positive
it was from the mid 1970s.  I could not find it.  Does the following
scenario ring a bell?

On the screen a man is strolling in a rural landscape.  From what I recall,
the action on screen is actually a film of that film.  The filmmaker is
painting himself "in" or "out" using black or white paint against the
screen (?).  It somehow ends with the living, breathing filmmaker busting
through the paper screen on which his image is seen walking towards the
original filmed image of himself.  A parlor trick, for sure, but pretty
amazing!

Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike
