LE PAPE FRANÇOIS, LA DERNIÈRE CHANCE DU VATICAN 2 x 60’

Yami2

2015

The election of Cardinal Bergoglio, on 13th March 2013 is one of those rare moments. Just seconds after the « habemus papam » traditional announcement was made, a small, hilarious man, who would subsequently turn the world upside down, appears on the Vatican’s balcony. After just a few words, everybody understands that the unexpected and improbable had just transpired!

The question was no longer would he bring the church into the 21st century but how would he do it and just how far would he actually go? The dream machine is rolling.

LES CHAMPIONS D’HITLER Artline Films

2016

As soon as the Nazis came to power, they perverted sporting and Olympic values into a tool for building the “new man”. Faster, Higher, Stronger: Germany had to prove its racial superiority in all disciplines, whatever it took.

This film portrays the criss-crossing fates of the greatest German athletes during the Third Reich. Gymnasts, mountain climbers, pilots, boxers and more... Their success was a matter of national importance to the Nazi regime, and the 1936 Olympics were the apotheosis of their efforts.

L’OR ROUGE Vivement Lundi

2015

In June 1944, the Allies landed on the coast of Normandy. The holds and refrigerators of their vessels contained tens of thousands of litres of a precious fluid that was emblematic of the war effort: human blood.

This incredible armada is also the greatest operation of blood transfusion in history. For the first time, an extraordinary logistics chain allowed hundreds of thousands of blood donations carried out in New York and London to be transfused one week later to American or British soldiers on Normandy beaches.

Versailles is synonymous with politics and power. Dinner at Versailles with a head of State is still one of the greatest honours the Republic can bestow on a guest.

It’s a story that has become tragically familiar: travellers, often young and healthy, visit sun-splashed tourist destinations, fall ill and suddenly die. Their grieving families are left to agonize over how it could happen? In such cases Thai authorities are quick to speculate on what might have occured, often pointing to drugs or food poisoning. But this hard-hitting doc examines a new theory - fatal exposure to toxic pesticide sprays used in hotels to control bedbugs.

FRAGONARD IN LOVE FRAGONARD AMOUREUX 1 x 52’ MAT Productions

2015

Love in the 18th century was all about libertinism. Or was it? In fact, during the 18th century, love was far a more complex affair. Fragonard embraced his century, and was everything to everybody – to libertines and moralists alike, as well as to those who dreamed of tender, bucolic mythological allegories. He made good use of little Amours, which he always planted under the foliage where his lovers met, embraced, held hands or gazed into each other’s eyes.

That is exactly what is baffling Lieutenant Corel and what she needs to find out: a female murderer is killing women who share the same solitary and anonymous profile and who have soulless jobs. She first becomes their friend and confidant, and then takes over their lives without anybody noticing! Lieutenant Corel has no choice but to adopt a similar profile, in order to become the chameleon killer’s prey. Who will eliminate whom?

THE EVENING CIGARETTE 10 x 1’

Fablachannel

HD

2014

10 silent one-minute episodes 10 very graphic and carefully executed pictures 10 mundane moments turning into the utter senselessness 10 funny but not so rosy situations, full of twists and turns.

«It has been 2 years since I quit smoking.

I spent 20 years taking deep drags off my cigarette end, so I had to pay tribute to my good old friend: the evening cigarette. Theone we are supposed to enjoy in calmness and serenity when the phone stops ringing, the children are asleep and the washing-up is done ; in a nutshell: the coolest cigarette of the day… Except that it is still a cigarette and it is just as dangerous as any other cigarette.»
