Historia
Serge Daney (June 4, 1944, Paris – June 12, 1992) was a French movie critic. He was a major figure of Cahiers du cinéma which he co-edited in the late 1970s. He also wrote extensively about films, television, and society in the newspaper Libération and founded the quarterly review Trafic shortly before his death. Highly regarded in French and European film criticism circles, his work remains little known to English-speaking audiences, largely because it has not been consistently translated.
A secret figure in French underground cinema, Maria Koleva has filmed all over Paris, written about Marx and rubbed shoulders with the likes of Serge Daney. This documentary is a portrait of a histrionic Koleva, trying to reveal her militant, poetic and cinematographic universe, located in the Latin Quarter of Paris.

(¿Y ahora qué? Recuérdame) narra la lucha del propio director Joaquim Pinto contra el virus del SIDA y la hepatitis C, enfermedades a las que el realizador portugués combate desde hace casi 20 años. El film es la crónica de un año de estudios clínicos con drogas y toxinas aún no aprobadas. Una reflexión abierta y ecléctica sobre el tiempo y la memorias, sobre las pandemias y la globalización, y sobre cómo sobrevivir a las expectativas. (FILMAFFINITY)
Self - Film Critic (archive footage)
Una mirada muy personal a la historia del cine dirigida, escrita y editada por Jean-Luc Godard en su residencia suiza de Rolle durante diez años (1988-98); un collage monumental, construido a partir de fragmentos de películas, textos y citas, fotos y pinturas, música y sonidos, y diferentes lecturas; una visión crítica, bella y melancólica del arte del cine.
Serge Daney talks about television in France, about the social role it plays and the role it could play, its ability to welcome and even integrate the "other" into a system of values of which it still is - in spite of everything - the depositary. Its existence of truth, of openness to the world passes through Serge Daney's own biography: that of a man formed by the major art of this century: the cinema.
Serge Daney, the most influential film critic after André Bazin, interviewed by Régis Debray a few months before his death.
The French Ministry of Culture commissioned films on the cultural decade "en chantiers". Robert Kramer makes one of the six short films that illustrates the cultural side of the decade Mittérand. Here we see a director of cinema in the suburbs of Caen, in her room lined with flower paper. This for art and essay cinema. There, the critic Serge Daney in a sailor's cap, for a chat by the fire. An overview of French cinema today, "Pickpocket" on television. Then back on you. The camera slides on the desk that we imagine to be Kramer's. Finally, the camera flies over Paris, slides along the facades, stops on a window, entering the skylight: "The films invite to see ... I invite you to see Jean Genet's hotel room."
