JAMES STEWART / ROBERT MITCHUM: THE TWO FACES OF AMERICA by Gregory Monro
With his gauche manner and his slender figure, Stewart embodies a successful life. Mitchum, with his legendary nonchalance and his hangdog look, is more like the naughty kid. When they shared top billing in the 1978 film The Big Sleep, these two actors, certainly did not suspect that they would both embark upon eternal sleep on almost the same day in 1997. What heritage have these two Hollywood legends left behind, and how did their particular qualities feed the American dream?

In 1932, Charlie Chaplin, in the middle of a professional crisis, decides to go on a trip to Bali with his brother Sydney, where he will find peace and inspiration. Further to this journey, Chaplin was able to overcome his fear of talking movies and to direct some of his greatest successes such as Modern Times (1936) and The Great Dictator (1940).Thanks to a little camera, he and his brother recorded this journey offering us for the first time a glimpse of this turning point in Chaplin’s life.
Typography is at the heart of our contemporary culture. The film plunges us into the “typographic cauldron” of the great modern metropolis. We are taken on safaris through some of the great European cities by typographers who will decipher for us the “jungle” of typefaces swarming all around us.
The film tells the story of the intimate and unprecedented encounter between the photojournalists of the Magnum Agency and the world of cinema. The confrontation of two seemingly opposite worlds – fiction and reality. For 70 years their paths crossed: a family of photographers, amongst them the biggest names in photography, and a family of actors and filmmakers who helped write the history of cinema, from John Huston to Marilyn Monroe to Orson Welles, Kate Winslet and Sean Penn.
Heart of Glass is a journey. A road trip through several countries (USA, UK, The Netherlands, France) on two continents in pursuit of a story. The story of a young glass blower with a singular talent: Jeremy Maxwell Wintrebert. The film follows him in his daily life - working in the studio and on the road - and reveals how passion can undo a tragic fate.

BONES OF CONTENTION by Andrea Weiss
DONKEY TALES by Jérôme-Cécil Auffret
Lining the roads of Spain, masked by miles and miles of pine trees, are unmarked graves in which over a hundred twenty thousand victims of the Franco regime are buried. Among them is Spain’s most famous poet, Federico García Lorca, who has become the symbol for both the historical memory and LGBT movements. The film explores the unexamined history of LGBT oppression during Spain’s fascism regime, and places it within the larger human rights struggle to find some justice for Franco’s victims. But how does a country excavate a past that is actively suppressed?
The film tells us the story of a humble and little known animal: the domestic donkey. This enquiry leads us to Egypt where the first donkeys where domesticated 5000 years ago. When the Romans took over, they discovered the immense qualities of this powerful animal and brought him with them in the conquest of the world. Since that time, donkey has spread all over the planet.

INSIDE THE MIND OF FAVELA FUNK by Fleur Beemster & Elise Roodenburg
Inside the Mind of Favela Funk is a documentary about love and relationships in the world of the extremely popular favela funk: pornographic music from Rio de Janeiro’s deprived neighborhoods.

Pharrell Williams, Kanye West, Lebron James… Nowadays, the most fashionable heroes of pop culture are black men. Their love of style is not only a status symbol or a vapid superficial trend, it is rooted in a deep American cultural history, as flamboyant as it is political, that of Black Dandyism. This movement recalls more than a century of cultural adventures, at the crossroads of fashion, arts and major social issues.

DEMOCRACY by David Bernet
Democracy offers an insight into a hidden world of political struggle for new data protection legislation in the European Union. Euro-MP Jan Philipp Albrecht and EU-Commissioner Viviane Reding attempt the supposedly impossible. They take on a hard-edged apparatus of political power, in which intrigue, success and failure are frequent bedfellows. After two and a half years following the legislative process, the documentary brings complex power structures to life and offers a snapshot of democracy today.

Sinking ships, sailors imprisoned, chases at sea, illegal landings, acts of vandalism, military confrontation; incidents of this type have multiplied in the China Sea, now one of the world’s most sensitive areas. In the face of China’s growing power, neighbouring countries Japan, Vietnam, and the Philippines have been reinforcing defences to protect maritime borders and uphold sovereignty over the archipelagos they control. Yet more than territorial disputes which regularly raise tensions, it is China’s overall political ambitions that worry adjacent countries, as well as the United States.

How does a politician - assassinated 35 years ago - gradually become a world-famous image? It recently served as figurehead for the Arab Spring revolutions whereas we had thought it had been relegated to t-shirts and lighters. Why has this image become so universal that we are no longer surprised to find it in drawings, graffiti, and prints on all types of media in all sorts of contexts all over the world? This documentary is a journey to investigate and decode what is the formula that made this figure go viral.

Further to the success of the first season, discover three new families of autocrats or bloodstained despots’ wives, three episodes that combine love, glory, and terror. Many films have shown dictatorial regimes all over the world, but only a few films show the role played by the despot’s spouses. They accepted for the first time to open their doors and show us their new lives. Through this original angle, one of the goals of this series is to better understand the unknown historical realities of our contemporary world.
Where are you, João Gilberto? sets out in the footsteps of German writer Marc Fischer who obsessively searched for the last musical legend of our time — the founding father of Bossa Nova, Brazilian musician João Gilberto, who has not been seen in public for decades. Fischer described his journey in a book, Hobalala, but committed suicide one week before it was published. By taking up Marc Fischer’s quest, following his steps one by one, thanks to all the clues he left us, we pursue João Gilberto to understand the history, the very soul and essence of Bossa Nova. But who can tell whether we will meet him or not?
