Antes de abandonar os palcos por problemas neurológicos em 1972, Thelonious Monk fez sua última apresentação três anos antes, em Paris. Na ocasião, após o show, Monk se dirigiu para um canal de televisão francês onde seria entrevistado e tocaria algumas músicas. Devido a sua situação mental, o programa não chegou a ser exibido. Monk fala pouco, se expressa com um mínimo de palavras e não consegue desenvolver um papo fluente com o jornalista, mas sua capacidade musical ainda está intacta. Este é o registro do ocaso comovente de um gênio que pouco a pouco nos deixava.

After twenty-five years spent in France, I return to Bulgaria, camera in hand, with a vertiginous suspicion: what if my family had collaborated with the political police of the communist regime? And what if they were part of the "red trash" that the demonstrators on the street want to see disappear? I decide to investigate and to film, constantly, ready for anything. My adventure transforms itself into a tragic comic odyssey; a film that combines espionage with family.

An all-access tour behind the scenes at France’s premiere film school, La Fémis. Showing us how successful candidates get to follow in the footsteps of such luminaries as Louis Malle, François Ozon and Alain Resnais, all of whom attended this prestigious institution. Stumbling over their words, the often-nervous candidates seem vulnerable when confronted with the veterans of the industry, who have the difficult task of discovering true talent among all these eager young people.

A film in three parts: An aquarium, a man sitting at a table reading various text passages, and a sequence from Jean Renoir’s film LA MARSEILLAISE. This is all from a film by Jean-Marie Straub – about fate, the soul and the cosmos, about the evident nature in which man lives, just like in the aquarium surrounding him. And finally, there’s the nation as a symbol for the community of free people. A Straub film represents a gift that isn’t based on exchange, but rather the opposite of communication. And what could be more beautiful and liberating in life?
Jean-Marie Straub pushes this musicality of blocks to a paroxysmal extreme, mixing blocks of time (40 years separate the various extracts that are going to be used, and what is to be filmed), blocks of text (Malraux, Fortini, Vittorini, Hölderlin) and blocks of language (French, Italian, German), and from this ruckus emerges the history of the world, yes, History with a capital H, and from the same movement, the political hope of its being overtaken. So this is an adventure film, about the Human adventure, still one that is always, in the end, overtaken by Nature. (Arnaud Dommerc)

A walker who crosses three regions: Vattetot-sur-mer in the Pays-de-Caux region, Saint-Firmin-des-Bois in the Gâtinais region, and Carrouge in Switzerland, drawing an imaginary geographical thread between the places where we live and the place where Gustave Roud spent time on his family farm in the Pays-de-Vaux region. This film was inspired by Gustave Roud’s text, whose title we have borrowed. Travelling through landscapes, looking closely at the tiny and changing forms of nature, meeting living beings – animals and people.

Director
Through the portrait of Alain Emery, who in 1953 embodied the child of the film 'White Mane', directed by Albert Lamorisse, this film is a tribute to the Camargue, its winter light, its peculiar rhythms to the men and women, guardians, bull-breeders and fishermen who give this land an incredible wild beauty. Returning to the scene of filming, this film goes in search of the poetic force that flows from end to end in Lamorisse's film.
