Cast
This documentary was initially released three years earlier as "Stock Americain." We kept in touch with Jacques and were witness to the changes in his life. So, three years later, we decided to film an update. With a complete re-edit and the updated material, the film had a new look and an additional message, so we also gave it a new title: "A Travers le Vide" or "Crossing the Void." After the completion of this film, we quickly launched into another one and did not submit "Crossing the Void" to many festivals. It did play at the Brussels Cinema Festival in 2005 and had a screening at the renowned Facets Cinemateque in Chicago with our subject Jacques in attendance. It remains my personal favorite film.
