On a grandi ensemble
In Ivry sur Seine, in the Parisian suburbs, the Gagarin housing estate was a symbol. Destroyed in 2020, this film brings it back to life, through the eyes of Adnane Tragha, who grew up across the street, and through the words of its former inhabitants. Back in the deserted city, they evoke their memories of the place. Daniel, Loïc, Karima, Yvette, Foued, Samira and Mehdy tell us about their lives, their experiences and their feelings. The difficulties as well as the solidarity, the stigmatization as well as the mutual aid, the good memories as well as the bad. Crossing temporalities and experiences, "We grew up together" paints, through small subjective touches, the story of a city like so many others. This film is a "counter-history", the rehabilitation of a word that is too rare, a hymn to working-class neighborhoods. "At the same time documentary, fiction, archival work, We grew up together is multifaceted, like the city.

Chasing the Moon
Self
“Chasing the Moon,” a film by Robert Stone, reimagines the race to the moon for a new generation, upending much of the conventional mythology surrounding the effort. The series recasts the Space Age as a fascinating stew of scientific innovation, political calculation, media spectacle, visionary impulses and personal drama. Utilizing a visual feast of previously overlooked and lost archival material — much of which has never before been seen by the public — the film features a diverse cast of characters who played key roles in these historic events.
Moon: The Battles of Space
Self - Cosmonaut (archive footage)
July 20, 1969. Apollo 11 lands on the surface of the Moon. Such a feat was apparently performed to the greater glory of all mankind, but actually it marked the end of the space race disputed by the two great superpowers of the time in their eagerness to arrive before and the beginning of the spread of the Cold War into space. Nowadays, the struggle continues, but the main competitors and their purposes are others.

Una historia sobre cuatro científicos británicos que han creado una sonda que realizará un viaje de siete años a la luna más grande en órbita alrededor de Saturno, Titán.

El documental sigue la historia detrás de la creación de una sonda que es la culminación de un esfuerzo de toda la vida que estará atado a lo que es esencialmente una bomba gigante y arrojado fuera de la atmósfera terrestre en un viaje de siete años. ¿Tendrán éxito?

En julio de 1969, la misión del Apolo XI llegó con total normalidad a la Luna. Dos mil millones de telespectadores pudieron seguir en directo el acontecimiento por televisión. Sin embargo, las imágenes de aquélla hazaña siguen sembrando dudas. ¿Realidad o ficción? Partiendo de una polémica que se ha mantenido a lo largo de los años, este polémico documental -al parecer ideado por Stanley Kubrick- analiza los aspectos más cuestionados de aquel 20 de julio de 1969.

Голубой огонек - в первый час
La Rabbia
Self (archive footage)
Con imágenes de archivo de los años 50, dos personalidades (Pier Paolo Pasolini y Giovanni Guareschi) responden a la misma pregunta: ¿Por qué nuestras vidas se han caracterizado siempre por el descontento, la angustia y el miedo? La película está dividida en dos partes claramente diferenciadas. En la primera parte, Pasolini responde con su convicción de hombre de izquierda; en la segunda, Guareschi, sustenta la versión conservadora.
