The Enigmatic Charlotte Rampling
Editor
Screen icon Charlotte Rampling has fascinated the world of cinema, fashion and photography with her mysterious and almost inaccessible beauty. A major figure in genre and auteur films, she is unclassifiable: between presence and absence, shyness and audacity, she's always hypnotic, magnetic and fascinating. From her film debut in the mid-1960s in England, to her unconventional career path, through the tragic loss suicide of her older sister that will irremediably mark her acting, this film is a dive into the existential quest of a complex actress, whose every facet is discovered through her roles. Through a conversation with the actress herself, along with personal archives and extracts from her films, this documentary raws a dazzling portrait of her life and career.
Godard Cinema
Editor
Jean-Luc Godard is cinema, its quintessence. Just turned 91, he has made more than 140 films. We hate him as much as we worship him. Where does his aura come from? From legendary films of course, but also from Godard himself. He is a public figure as much as a man shrouded in mystery. Everything and its opposite, he has taken all possible paths. It is not easy to seize such a legendary, enigmatic giant. Godard’s itinerary follows one direction only: a constant renewal of his art. He sees the creative act as a necessary act of criticism and deconstruction.” I always start from the negative. I am a positive man who starts from the negative”. The artist reinvents himself tirelessly, and inevitably destroys himself. This portrait wants to take us beyond the clichés of a myth that has sometimes become caricatural, to meet a man more sentimental than it seems, a man inhabited, sometimes surpassed, by his art. Because yes, Godard is human. Not just a machine who thinks and creates images.

Jerry Lewis: El Hombre Detrás del Payaso
Editor
Desde los primeros días, Jerry Lewis, siguiendo la línea de Chaplin, Keaton y Laurel, hizo reír al público con sus gags visuales, de mímica y de comedia física. Sin embargo, Lewis era mucho más que un payaso. También fue un cineasta innovador cuya curiosidad insaciable lo llevó a escribir, producir y dirigir muchas de las películas en las que apareció, lo que resultó en clásicos tan adorados como “The Bellboy”, “The Ladies Man”, “The Errand Boy” y “The Nutty Professor”. Este documental narra la extraordinaria vida y el genial trabajo de Jerry Lewis, uno de los intérpretes y cineastas cómicos más icónicos e incomparables de nuestro tiempo.
