Missak MANOUCHIAN, hero of French Resistance, is shot by the Germans in February 1944. Impassioned by Art and Culture, quartered between Reality and Imaginary, History will not leave time to be himself, to live his own life. Testimonys of his comrades in arms bring us today a new lighting on the moral nobility of this important man and on the topicality of his fight.
Director: Pierre Yves Clouin.
This film was shot during a CulturesFrance (Institut Français) Hors les murs New Images arts residency in Montreal, Canada, in the summer of 2010.
The project is a chronological record, each scene engendering the next
Working without written notes of what I shot, I recorded over 10 hours of video merely keeping in mind that the order in which everything was filmed had provoked what I was currently shooting.
Returning to Paris for editing, I sorted my footage in repeated viewings.
I had to find an atmosphere, a rhythm, a current, from scene to scene, that seemed compelling, a flow that under-lied the shooting.
This binding element is like an arc that was built up slowly, as the project progressed.
It is an arc that brings together two images that are strictly unrelated, and makes one follow naturally on the other — a group of men, for example, casting a sidelong glance at a passing police car on a bridge at night, followed by a human foot that seems to emerge from a tree trunk in broad daylight and kick in rhythm.
With each viewing, I preserved only those scenes that seemed most closely to fit this arc and eliminated everything else, all the while preserving the exact chronology of the shooting sequence. What remans is 39 minutes of video in 73 scenes.
J’ai fait ce film durant une résidence CulturesFrance (Institut Français) Hors les murs Nouvelles Images à Montréal l'été 2010.
Le projet est un enregistrement chronologique, chaque scène ayant engendré la suivante.
Sans avoir de note sur ce que j’avais filmé, j’ai tourné une dizaine d’heures avec à l’esprit l’idée que l’ordre dans lequel tout était filmé provoquait ce que j’étais en train de filmer.
Au montage en rentrant à Paris, j’ai fait un tri par passages successifs.
Il a fallu retrouver une atmosphère, un rythme ou un flux qui semble s’imposer de lui même entre les images, flux qui était sous tendu au tournage.
Ce liant, c’est comme une courbe qui s’est construite au fur et à mesure.
Cette courbe fait que deux images qui n’ont strictement rien à voir — d’abord un groupe d’hommes qui observe du coin de l’oeil une voiture de police qui passe sur un pont la nuit et puis un pied qui semble sortir d’un tronc d’arbre et qui bat en rythme, le jour — que ces deux images donc se succèdent évidemment.
J’ai gardé à chaque visionnement les images au plus près de la courbe et éliminé tout ce qui lui était étranger, mais en conservant l’exacte chronologie du filmage : Il reste 37 minutes en 73 plans.

a beautiful enigmatic woman

haunting, sensual, mysterious ...
for a journey into the heart of his memory.

NATURE,WILDLIFE,GLOBAL WARMING,AND CIVILIZATION
Director: CECILE RITTWEGER.
An interpreter. Totally cold and distant: very professional. Her position? In between: on one side, refugees exposing their suffering, on the other side, doctors, solicitors or psychiatrists, who know how to help them. And she herself can only decode words and relay information, filtering emotions and hiding all about herself. She knows how to swallow, filter and regurgitate. Until the arrival of an African whose charm dramatically arouses her. This meeting is going to stir up all the emotions she had kept hidden and to question her go-between role in the triangular communication. Another universe starts to rise to the surface.

Since its beginnings in 1901, the Monsanto empire has been built upon on the manufacture of chemical products that have ended up being banned from the market. Every time, the multinational has lied, hidden or doctored studies that demonstrate the harmfulness of its products. It has had proceedings brought against it and been ordered to pay hefty fines, but that has not stopped its irresistible ascension.

An untold story about the cold war on the African continent, or the defeat of an ideal, internationalism, which Cuban guerrillas failed to defend.
In Africa, in the early '60s, four adversaries with conflicting interests face off: the Soviets want to expand their influence; the United States intend to appropriate the continent's natural riches; the former empires seek to revive their shaky colonial power; and the young nations defend their newly-won independence, armed with an ideal: internationalism.
African revolutionaries like Patrice Lumumba, Amilcar Cabral and Agostinho Neto call on Cuban guerrillas to help them in their struggle, and Fidel Castro's men will play a central role on the continent, from Che Guevara's tragicomic epic in the Congo up to the triumph of the battle of Cuito Cuanavale in Angola.
This film relates a largely untold story, going from 1961 to 1989, with archives and interviews to back it up.

This absorbing documentary follows the transition of the ANC from a liberation organisation into South Africa's ruling party.
On 20 September 2008, Jacob Zuma, the president of the ruling African National Congress, toppled the South African president Thabo Mbeki from power when his party's national executive committee voted to sack him. Mbeki accepted his political demise calmly, welcomed the news and agreed to go quietly. The vote to oust him was the culmination of an epic power struggle between Mbeki, seen by many as an aloof intellectual the ANC sent into exile for 28 years, and Zuma, the Zulu farm-boy with no formal education who spent 10 years in jail on Robben Island, and who earlier this year became South Africa's third president since the end of apartheid.
This absorbing documentary follows the transition of the ANC from a liberation organisation into South Africa's ruling party, through the evolution of the relationship between Mbeki and Zuma. The two men, both 66 and once comrades-in-arms, have been engaged in a bitter power struggle that has threatened to destroy the movement that enfranchised black South Africans, and to drag the country deeper into turmoil. Behind the Rainbow features key interviews with senior ANC personnel including Jacob Zuma, Kgalema Motlanthe, Pallo Jordan, Thabo Mbeki and Terror Lekota.

Senegal’s first journalist, now 82 rainy seasons old, Annette Mbaye d’Erneville has been very early, concerned by the development of her country . Militant from the first hours of the woman's emancipation cause, she has been a pioneer activist and anti-conformist.
"Capturing a generation of pioneers who are our mothers, capturing my mother!"
Born in Sokone in 1926 as a child of the colonial period, she is "torn "by her education “vieille France" and her love for her country of origin and Serer tradition.
During her university education in Paris in 1947, she immersed herself in the intellectual circles of the 50s and met those who built the independence throughout Africa.
There, she founded a family, recorded her firsts radio programs, got a journalism diploma. In 1957, she returned to Senegal to serve her country. !
The Senegalese writer, Boubacar Boris Diop, described Annette d’Erneville, as follows:
"It is that having lived our century as a true communication woman, a lot of other destinies encountered hers . . . her memory is still sharp and when we listen to her, it is so surprising to hear her recount so many famous historic characters or unknown people and most of all, from so many different generations."
Director: Lucienne Lanaz.
