Hacia fines de 2021 por Citéphilo-Encuentros Filosóficos anuales de la región Hauts-de-France, Jean-Louis Comolli es invitado a presentar su último libro Una cierta tendencia del cine documental. Imposibilitado de viajar a Lille debido a su estado de salud, Jacques Lemiére (miembro del Instituto de Sociología y Antropología de la Universidad de Lille, y responsable del arte del cine en Citéphilo) decide ir a su encuentro y entrevistarlo en su hogar en París, para luego poder presentar este diálogo en dichas jornadas. Registrado y editado por Ginette Lavigne (amiga de Jean-Louis pero también montajista y codirectora de varias de sus obras) nos llega esta excepcional conversación, en la que Comolli pese a la fragilidad de su salud, se luce en toda su sagacidad y originalidad reflexiva, otorgándonos casi una hora de su brillante pensamiento.

Resorting to the images that make up three quarters of the last century, Jean-Louis Comolli chose films that crossed his path fifty years ago, discovering his own history of cinema, and particularly the documentary cinema. Visual score orchestrated by a voice off (his) which lists topics that are important to him - the place of the viewer, the fiction in the documentary, the impact of technical progress on the artistic field ... -, the film weaves unpredictable wires between the excerpts .

On the night of April 26, 1974, the prison doors of Caxias opened and the political prisoners were released. Two women: Diana Andringa and Maria José Campos relive their detention in Caxias in this film. Even though they did not suffer the torture and other forms of violence that most of their companions were subjected to, both speak with great emotion of isolation and the so-called “normal regime” period in which they shared the space of a cell with other prisoners and learned to live in prison.

The operational commander of the "Captains Movement", describes and recreates a quarter of century later the crucial 24 hours of April 25, 1974, that would topple the Portuguese government and start a democratic regime in Portugal - since another military coup, May 28, 1926, installed a one-party dictatorship there. The scenes in the claustrophobic operation room are recreated, with him alone and a few voices.

Grabado entre los meses de febrero y marzo de 1999 en la Cúpula, el espacio de ensayo de Els Joglars, este documental revela el proceso creativo de una compañía teatral a la hora de recrear la vida del mítico dirigente anarquista Buenaventura Durruti, aí como las circunstancias que rodearon su muerte. En combinación con documentos audiovisuales de la época, Els Joglars retratan la vida de un hombre que, según el periodista y escritor soviético Ilià Ehzenburg, sería imposible de narrar porque se parece demasiado a una novela de aventuras.
