Everyone in France knows the films of Bertrand Blier. From "Les Valseuses" (Gettingit Up) to "Combien tu m'aimes" (How Much Do You Love Me?), to "Tenue desoirée" (Evening Dress), to "Trop belle pour toi" (Too Beautiful For You) to "Merci LaVie" (Thank You, Life), his work has become part of French cultural heritage. EveryFrench adult can recall a scene or a line of dialogue from one of his films.

But what about the man himself? Who exactly is behind the singular, sometimesunsettling work, which is often intentionally truculent or downright provocative? Peoplewho have watched televised footage of him have an image of a distant and reserved man.

During this personal journey through his film world, from film set to excerpt, Bertrand Blierreveals another side to his character, along with a few keys to understanding him. Theman throws light on his work as his work sheds light on the man. Little by little, a portraitemerges, a sensitive sketch of one of the most interesting and controversial filmmakersof his generation.

A director of masterpieces which have left their mark on the genre (Halloween, The Thing,In the Mouth of Madness), Carpenter formed a particularly prolific pact with horror andscience fiction filmmaking, right from his very first film, Dark Star. A subversive filmmakerhaunted by the double spectre of Western and Horror films, John Carpenter has imposedhimself through his 17 films as the rightful and persistent representative of a genre hehas repeatedly thrown into question. This documentary is a foray into Carpenter's worldin the company of the filmmaker. It paints the portrait of the director and explains hisoeuvre through archives and interviews with actors, directors and producers, such asWes Craven, Stephen King, Kurt Russell and Bertrand Tavernier.

François Truffaut conserved everything, the photos of people he loved, the piecesof paper on which he jotted down ideas, his correspondence, the many drafts of hisscreenplays.He wanted to keep a trace of things. This documentary began with these traces (filmedinterviews, photos, paper archives) to draw together the filmmaker's favorite themes,which recur from film to film: childhood, apprenticeship, the relations between men andwomen, the primacy of art over life, the cult of the dead.More than a memorial to the director's glory, this film seeks to gauge his legacy byrevealing the hidden but ever-present bond between François Truffaut and audiencestoday.

How did a street child, born in one of the most underprivileged districts of London, becomethe most famous man in the world in the space of a few years?

How did cinema, which was only just reaching adulthood, free itself from Music Hall andVaudeville to suddenly burst into modernity in such a short time, evolving from the statusof fairground attraction to an industry generating fortunes and creating almost instantcelebrities?

Our film will relive the history of the success of Chaplin, going beyond the era andfashions, and examine the birth of an icon, on its centenary, whose outline alone sumsup what is most brilliant, moving and inventive in cinema.

We will explore the mystery of this almost instant success, and the universality of asilhouette that has lasted for over a century. We will relive the resurrection of these imagesin their former glory.

The blockbuster appeals to a very wide audience, from 7 to 77 years and from Paris toBeijing. These films, which have boosted the film industry, started out with "Jaws" and"Star Wars" and are still prospering with Avatar or Alice in Wonderland. To succeed, thefilms must meet a few precise criteria, one of them being their cost - at 100 million dollarsminimum. But in Hollywood, the films' ingredients are a well-kept secret; perhaps for fearof discovering that the studios' house rules are not as rosy as in certain fruitful happyendings? The pressure and the stakes are colossal.

This fascinating documentary reviews the numerous professions affiliated with theblockbuster, via interviews with producers of the major studios (Walt Disney Studio, 20thCentury Fox...), screenwriters, actors' agents and those in charge of the trailers, a crucialstage for the film's success.

Prima della rivoluzione, made in 1964, questions the role of the communist intellectual.Tempted by theory (confronting Marx with Freud) and by aesthetics (a fascination foropera), these themes are at the heart of his work, which includes adaptations of Borges(The Spider's Stratagem) and Moravia (The Conformist). The relationship between sexand society lies beneath his tremendous success Last Tango in Paris (1972). The LastEmperor, The Sheltering Sky and Little Buddha are ambitious frescoes that move awayfrom Europe, but to where he later returned, in particular with Innocents, made in 2003,and Me and You in 2012, in which he revisited his initial obsessions.

In 40 years and 25 films, Patrice Chéreau was awarded, amongst other prizes, a GoldenBerlin Bear, a Silver Berlin Bear, a César, and a Jury Prize at Cannes.

"For me, making a film is a sort of enigma to be solved, a secret to be pierced." For thenearly 40 years that he made films, ever since The Flesh of the Orchid (1975), PatriceChéreau relentlessly worked the mystery of cinema.

For a long time, he shifted from the stage to film, and from film to opera, before tiringof theatre, which gave him the feeling that he was acting only on reflexes, whereas withcinema, everything was invented.

MASTROIANNI, THE PERFECT ITALIANMarcello Mastroianni, one of the greatest cinema icons, is much morethan a playboy. Throughout his 40 year-long career, with his uniquestyle, he has personnified every single aspect of the Italian male :charisma, melancholic tenderness, self-mockery, cleverness and anatural gift for appealing to all.

In 1858, Alexandre Dumas set out on the roads of the Caucasus and reported on them inhis "Voyage to the Caucasus". In 2012, Gérard Depardieu carries out the same journey,noting new borders and focusing on Azerbaijan.

He visits the same towns the writer visited. At the time, Dumas was accompanied by thepainter Jean Pierre Moynet, who painted everything that inspired him on their travels,from encounters with people, to unusual places to the adventures they experienced.

Gérard Depardieu is accompanied by artist Mathieu Sapin, our present-day Moynet.Throughout his journey Gérard Depardieu talks to us about Dumas, about Depardieu andabout his perspective on the world. Gérard and Mathieu meet local men and women,just like the writer did in his day. Dumas is no longer with us, but Depardieu is there tobring him back to life. And perhaps Dumas helps reveal a side to Depardieu that we havenever seen before.

Still today, Rocky is held up as a model by some and is a subject of derisionfor others.

To pinpoint the start, it all began in the heart of Paris, in the depths of darkened room, on28 March 1798, when Etienne-Gaspard Robertson gave one of his first screenings of his"Fantasmagoria" - making ghosts and spectres dance.But how did we move from perfecting the magic lantern to the cinematography of theLumière brothers?

The invention was born throughout the 19th century, out of the unpredictable crossing oftwo parallel research paths - that of philosophical toys and the photography of movement.Originally-named optical devices - such as the kinesigraph, the zoetrope, thepraxinoscope and the phenakistoscope, without forgetting the photographic revolver orgun - associated the realm of toys with the realm of thought, reflecting both a fascinationfor the magical effects produced by animation and speed, and a desire to understandhuman anatomy, and analyse the phenomenon of vision.All these pre-cinema optical devices literally stemmed from a desire for spectacle andthe will to acquire knowledge.

Robertson, Reynaud, Plateau, Muybridge and Marey spearheaded the adventure.Thanks to these brilliant inventors, we travel across the 19th century, ending in Paris in1895 in the Salon Indien du Grand Café, where the first public movie screening took place.

Long, locker-lined corridors, leafy campuses, raging hormones, student jokes,questionable fights between hunky athletic guys, pom-pom girls and rebellious nerds: thecodes of the teen movie, derived from real US high school life, are today well-rooted inour collective imagination.

From its beginnings in the 1950s, with "Rebel Without a Cause", to the hilarious virgins ofthe contemporary master of the genre, Judd Apatow, via the golden age of the 1980s, thisdocumentary goes back over the history of a trend that has been undervalued for a longtime. It also looks at how teen movies, inspired by comedy, romance and the horror film,have succeeded in reflecting developments in US behaviour, and how they have matured,to become a goldmine that is as lucrative as it is devastating, even contaminating art films.

The film is supported by accounts from real-life high school students and head teachers,producers, screenwriters, directors (John Hughes, Larry Clark...) and generous extractsfrom de The Breakfast Club, American Graffiti, Risky Business, American Pie, Elephant,and Kids.

Until the early 20th century, all Western populations knew about African wildlife waswhat they had seen in botanical prints and trips to the zoo or read in the accounts ofmissionaries and explorers. Not surprisingly, they were bowled over by the first big-screenfootage of lions and elephants in their natural habitat.From the late Thirties until the end of the Fifties, Hollywood was people's main source ofimages of Africa. The movies perpetuated the myth of the great white hunter confronting ahostile wilderness full of savage beasts. The white hunter was seen as the consummateadventure hero, and was played by actors like Clark Gable and Stewart Granger - thebiggest stars of their day.Today, wildlife films have become a genre in their own right. Filming the wilderness offersinsights into the risks of wildlife filming, the techniques used to get pictures in differingcircumstances, and the relationship the cameraman has with the animals he is filming.

Electronic happiness, a massive hoax. What will life be like in France in the year 2000?How easy will it be to manipulate and program people? To find out, the Minister ofthe Future selects a model couple, Jean-Michel and Claudine (André Dussollier andAnémone) and sets them up in an experimental apartment in the heart of New City, whichis still under construction. Taken in hand on arrival by two psycho-sociologists (Zouc andJacques Boudet), the two guinea pigs' lives are dictated by a demented program. Everymoment of their existence is dissected, their words, dreams, way of eating, being boredand making love. At the beginning, the experiment is a game. The couple's adventuresare shown on TV with the whole country watching live. But gradually, in their closed world,things begin to go sour. What are all these tests for? What exactly are all these techniciansafter? The plot twists and turns down to the final send-up, a joyous explosion of slapstick.The experiment is a horrible flop like so many glorious initiatives of our schizo society.

"It is incisive, never cursory, always subtle. The film makes you laugh from beginning toend, sometimes so hard you cry." (Alain Rémond - Télérama)

Paris, in the 16th century: Quasimodo, the hunchback raised in Notre-Dame Cathedral,falls hopelessly in love with the lovely and unattainable Gypsy girl, Esmeralda. He rescuesthe beauty, in this moving classic which has been staged so many times.

Based loosely on Victor Hugo's novel, this was a lavish production endowed with a budgetthat was considerable at the time. Since 1925, it has been viewable only in shortenedversions, which gave it a poor reputation. This version, newly restored in high definitionfrom a full-length, tinted print miraculously found in 2006, finally does justice to thesplendor of the masterpiece. The film again becomes the superproduction it was intendedto be.

After a series of cockeyed adventures, fighting Red China Man (a gigantic balloon),Moujik Man (Philippe Noiret) and Marie-Madeleine (Delphine Seyrig), he succeeds onlyin wreaking havoc and destruction, just as he did in Vietnam. The style of the film is ano holds barred satire on the great events that shape our times. The sets and costumesare inspired by hardcore comic-books. The plot contains crazy violence, twists and turns,primeval politics, suspense, sex and slapstick. Audiences feel like they are at the circusuntil they realize they are watching the news.

"Mister Freedom is the Ubu of our times, a thundering, allegorical farce that succeeds inrecreating for the cinema a trip from which the film draws its inspiration. William Klein'srelentlessly inventive, burlesque extravaganza is an invigorating and refreshing breath offresh air." (Michel Capdenac - Les Lettres Françaises)

For one of the series of monthly programs called "Who are you?" Polly Maggoo is thepseudo-portrait of a super model. Done in a cocktail of styles - Méliès, cinéma vérité,Mack Sennet, Vogue, photo novellas, tabloid press - much of modern mythology issystematically exploded.Watching Polly Maggoo today is a rare pleasure, plus a real surprise - there's nomovie like it before or since. It abounds with visual inventions and right-on perceptions.Thirty years ahead of its time, it satirizes TV's top model feeding frenzy, the world offashion and brainwashing in general. The film's caustic dialogue and wicked humor strikehome unerringly. With terrible, and terribly funny, far-sightedness Klein had foreseenthe diarrhea of media bullshit.The film's designer justifies dressing women in aluminiumwith a tirade of pretentious creator-speak. "You are a galvanizer and I am galvanized"yelps fashion-victim Violette Leduc, as pundits launch into vapid psycho-historicalexplanations.William Klein excels in the parody of all things-media: television commentators, phonyinterviews, useless scoops, the True Confessions of a Ruritarian Prince, the concoctionof a fairy tale romance - even the vox-pops that foreshadow the spontaneous debatesof May '68. He takes delight in the slaughter of his targets while keeping the poetry ofthe images and design ever present.AWARDS :Jean Vigo Prize 1967
