Sculpter la mémoire

Sculpter la mémoire nous invite au cœur de la création d’une œuvre de la sculptrice Cécile Raynal. Le temps d’une semaine, l’artiste se rend chaque jour chez Pierre Rolinet, 98 ans, pour faire émerger d’un bloc de terre, un portrait de cet homme, rescapé du camp de concentration Natzweiler-Struthof. Pierre a des choses à dire, il ne viendra jamais à bout de son expérience dans les camps. Cécile l’écoute en modelant la terre. Avec tendresse, la caméra observe cet échange, le récit de l’homme, les gestes de la femme et la naissance d’une œuvre qui inscrira pour longtemps le regard de Pierre dans nos mémoires.

In the rearview - French trailer

In the Rearview is a collective portrait composed of an array of experiences of Ukrainians who share a single goal: finding a safe haven in the throes of conflict. With temporary asylum granted to all passengers, their differences in gender, age, skin tone, physical condition, origin, identity, worldviews and faith become irrelevant. While the war itself remains in the backdrop, its reflection and impact are evident and raw.

Les Yeux ouverts (Eyes wide open)

For a few years now, Pierre, my father, has been suffering from a forgetting disease. Before everything fades away, we decide to take advantage of the time that remains to look at each other and talk as never before.

With his characteristic poetic language, Pierre tries to unravel the threads of a complex history of illness in which our relationship is caught in spite of ourselves. As my requests and the urgency that presses on, it's a whole filial relationship that is reinvented in every moment, with its complexities, its joys and its flashes. A path to rediscovered joy

Another way - French trailer

After five years of prosecution for the "crime of solidarity", chicken farmer Cédric Herrou had the "principle of fraternity" recognized in the French Constitution. Since then, he has changed his world, dispossessing himself of his land to turn it into common land and founding, with Marion Gachet, the Emmaüs Roya community (the first agricultural Emmaüs community in the world), which opens up the possibility of offering a living environment to precarious people in any situation, even "irregular" ones. ANOTHER WAY tells this story.
ANOTHER WAY is a response to all those who prefer to build walls rather than bridges. A story on a local scale and universal in its human, social, political and ecological dimensions.
It's a joyful, thrilling adventure, driven by the impressive resilience of the characters who bring it to life through their hard work, their sense of resourcefulness, their unshakeable will and their inventive courage... Characters perpetually regenerated by an analysis of society based on their situation, full of intelligence, lucidity, irony and even humor, about a region, a country, a continent, a world and an era.
An eco-political, solidarity-based and fraternal success story that traces the invention of a "different" way of thinking, living and doing things in a border valley, the Roya, which flows into the Mediterranean between France and Italy.

It had been granted to my grandparents by their employer, the director of Bourbon sugar mills, an industry vestige of the colonial past of our island. This place is a testimony to a family history and to my Indian, African and European ancestry, shared with many Réunionnais. I wish to make an intimate journey, encountering strata of living or buried memory in this place.

The great ball - French Trailer

"It's the story of a ball. A great ball. In the Bourbonnais bocage, in July, for over 27 years, rain, sleet, wind or shine, we dance, we dance, for seven days and seven nights. There are over two thousand of us, all generations, from infants to octogenarians. Many languages are spoken. We come from all over. It spins, it twirls, it stomps, it trances, it sweats, it laughs, it cries, it sings, it plays, it oozes, it lives. I dance too. But this year, I'm also going to make a film. To try to share and make this whirlwind visible to those who don't know it. The film, too, like a whirlpool. Dance, dance, hold on, eat, dance, dance, dance, sleep, dance, dance, listen to your body, how tired you are, drink, dance, don't miss a thing, sometimes it's even better when you've gone to bed, dance, meet each other. To film the glances, the exchanges, the "between", the community, the sum of its singularities, the stammering, nascent movement, the agility, the simplicity of the experienced, the letting go, the liberties taken, the gentle madness, the great humanity that unfolds, the joy that lights up the faces, the expectations on the chairs, the love that is born, the fatigue that falls, the bonds that tighten and keep us standing. To show how different it is, when we finally dare to touch, when we look at each other, when we live together. And life pulsates.
