Richard Leacock (working with his partner Valérie Lalonde) was one of the earliest practitioners of cinema vérité style. In Les oeufs, he uses his new Hi8 camera to push the bounds of this aesthetic, creating a kaleidoscopic, humorous, and inquisitive record of his daily life in his adopted France, which comes closest of his works to realizing the cinematic ideal of his 1950s compatriots. Paired with Sleep Dealer director Alex Rivera’s first short Papapapá, a movie- and pop culture–soaked essay in which he wrestles with the long shadow of Incan history as a first generation Peruvian American in NYC.
