POPE FRANCIS, THE VATICAN’S LAST CHANCELE 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.

BLOOD AND TOIL L’OR ROUGE

1 x 52’ 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.

HDHITLER’S CHAMPIONS LES CHAMPIONS D’HITLER

1 x 52’ | 1 x 90’ 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.

VERSAILLES, KINGS, QUEENS AND PRESIDENTS VERSAILLES, ROIS, PRINCESSES ET PRÉSIDENTS

1 x 52’ | 1 x 90’ Morgane 2015

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.

ENVOYÉ SPÉCIAL - CHARLIE HEBDOENVOYÉ SPECIAL - CHARLIE HEBDO

1 x 26’ France Télévisions 2015

A behind-the-scenes report on the first issue of Charlie Hebdo to come out after the terrorist attack at the French satirical weekly’s premises in which 12 people were killed, including cartoonists Charb, Cabu, Wolinski, Honoré and Tignous.

ENVOYÉ SPÉCIAL - BOKO HARAM: TERROR IN NIGERIAN SCHOOLSENVOYÉ SPECIAL - NIGÉRIA : SUR LES TRACES DE BOKO HARAM 1 x 26’ France Télévisions 2014

In Northern Nigeria, the militant Islamist terrorists Boko Haram are carrying out a campaign of terror. They attack villages, markets, mosques, churches and often schools. Their aim is to introduce Sharia law to the region and bring an end to so called ’Western education’, meaning instruction in anything other than the Koran.

DEATH IN PARADISE MORT AU PARADIS

1 x 45’ Radio Canada 2013

It’s a story that has become tragically fami-liar: 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 LOVEFRAGONARD 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 alle-gories. 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.
