Historia
In his youth, Jean-Gabriel Périot assiduously frequents the dark rooms. At fourteen, it's the click, he decides that his job will be to make movies.
His passion for archives, visual or sound, and history comes during a work done at the Center Georges Pompidou at the end of his studies. He discovered the possibilities offered by archival images, a rich material that makes it possible to elaborate new visual narratives1.
However, before beginning in cinema, he teaches and proposes installations in the field of contemporary art.

Whaling has been around for centuries. It seems to be the fruit of man’s violence, destroying himself by destroying nature. Accompanying the rise of capitalism, the practice survives today, reflecting humans’ eternal destructiveness of nature and the creatures unable to resist them.

At the end of the 1960s the post-war generation began to revolt against their parents. This was a generation disillusioned by anti-communist capitalism and a state apparatus in which they believed they saw fascist tendencies. This generation included journalist Ulrike Meinhof, lawyer Horst Mahler, filmmaker Holger Meins as well as students Gudrun Ensslin and Andreas Baader.

Director
A documentary experiment of great emotional power, about freedom and the strength of human affective bonds. We witness a concert given by the inmates of a prison in Orléans. Yet, they remain unseen, beyond the prison walls, all along the film, while the camera looks at those who listen to the music outside, in front of the prison. Silent emotions, the rapt faces of the listeners, humming along the prisoners, and their unrevealed personal histories, form a human gallery of potential stories, born out of the viewer's imagination.

French archive images of the Second World War pass in a dizzying tempo. The pace slows when we see images of the liberation. We see happy, liberated citizens, but slowly a cruel scene becomes visible. Women who are alleged to have had a relationship with the Germans are publicly insulted, shaved and beaten.

The 21st of april 2002 was the day of the first round of the presidential elections. The two candidates chosen for the 2nd round of the elections were right wing Jacques Chirac and right fascist, homophobe and racist Jean-Marie Le Pen. When the result were announced, i was overwhelmed by so many emotions: where i had lived, what i have done, what i have not done, and how i too was responsible for this outcome... An irretrievable turning point. One of those very few moments when one feels that one is really living history. But unfortunately, history at its blackest. That very night was also the night my close friends organised a surprise birthday party for me. The cake had a bitter taste. Clash of public and private matters, small things of my intimate life and history in the making...
