One day in 1970, while on a work trip to Cambodia, Gilles Caron vanished without a trace. He was only 30 and in the midst of a meteoric career in photojournalism, documenting and covering the monumental historical events of the 1960s for prominent magazines. He photographed the Six-Day War, the events of May 1968 in Paris, the Northern Ireland conflict, and the Vietnam War. In Looking for Gilles Caron, director Mariana Otero delves deeply into Caron's body of work, which includes 100 thousand photos, and uses the images that emerge – as well as the lulls between each shot – to analyze, interpret, and formulate the story of this mysterious photographer, who, in a short period of time, surveyed numerous significant events leaving behind a tremendous artistic imprint.

Gilles Caron was at the height of his career as a brilliant photojournalist when he went missing in Cambodia in 1970. He was just 30 years old. Through his iconic photographs, and the gaps between them, this film, constructed like an investigation, aims to restore the photographer’s presence, recount the story of his gaze, and how he managed to cover every high profile conflict of his day in such a short period of time.

Just one year ago, citizens joined together at Place de la République in Paris to demonstrate against labor reforms, the El Khomri law. This rapidly became an opportunity to invent another way of handling politics. It was the beginning of Nuit Debout. The film follows closely this social movement's inner core, a new kind of citizen's and democratic parliament, without representatives or leaders, which attempts to allow everyone the chance to speak. How do we speak in unison without speaking with a single voice?
