História

Gregory Monro (born September 10, 1975) is a French filmmaker, writer, and actor. Born in Paris where he currently lives, he grew up with American culture, watching films by his favorite directors, Steven Spielberg, Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, Frank Capra, Sergio Leone. But it was French comedian Louis de Funès who is responsible for Monro's passion when he discovered his films as a child. As a consequence, he started acting at age 9 before making his first films at 13. After graduating from French Film School ESRA, in 1997, he attended Jack Waltzer's (a lifetime Actors Studio member) masterclass for a few years in Paris and New York. From 1999, Gregory Monro has written, produced, performed, and directed several professional short films, most of which toured international film festivals such as Toronto, Palm Beach, Bolzano, and South Korea. Monro has a passion for the American West history and its legends and is particularly concerned with feminine conditions. He is a specialist on Calamity Jane and has prepared various works on her. He published a few books, created a special exhibit in Paris in 2010, directed a docudrama for European broadcaster Arte, and is currently working on a feature film. Prior to his Calamity works, he purchased Calamity Jane's controversial diary and letters in 2004, which led to his projects. In recent years, Monro directed several biographical documentaries, amongst them "Louis de Funès Forever ", Calamity Jane: Wild West Legend " and " Jerry Lewis: The man behind the clown ", selected at the Telluride Film Festival, the Lumière Film Festival, and Haïfa International Film Festival. Aside from his artistic career, Monro has worked as a production manager for numerous commercials and music videos, including Ayo, Sepultura, The shoes, and Hugh Coltman. Source: Wikipedia

Kubrick por Kubrick
Writer
O legado de Stanley Kubrick para o cinema é imensurável. Sua obra e seus filmes são estudados por admiradores e cineastas, todos em busca de respostas que o diretor foi notoriamente reticente em dar. Embora ele esteja entre os cineastas mais importantes da história, a chance de ouvir as próprias palavras de Kubrick era algo muito raro. Por meio de Michel Ciment, crítico de cinema e especialista em Stanley Kubrick, temos acesso a uma série de entrevistas feitas com o realizador durante cerca de 30 anos. Juntamente com arquivos cedidos pela família de Kubrick, o filme traça um retrato particular de um dos cineastas mais emblemáticos de todos os tempos.

Stewart & Mitchum: The Two Faces of America
Stewart & Mitchum: The Two Faces of America
Director
With his naïve air, his rangy and reassuring silhouette, James Stewart symbolizes success, someone who everybody wants to look like. Behind his legendary nonchalance, Robert Mitchum is the figure of the bad boy, the kind-hearted hooligan who anyone would like to have for accomplice. What is the legacy left by these two big myths of the Hollywood cinema and in which way they fed the American dream?
Jerry Lewis: The Man Behind the Clown
Jerry Lewis: The Man Behind the Clown
Writer
Since the early days, Jerry Lewis—in the line of Chaplin, Keaton and Laurel—had the masses laughing with his visual gags, pantomime sketches and signature slapstick humor. Yet Lewis was far more than just a clown. He was also a groundbreaking filmmaker whose unquenchable curiosity led him to write, produce, stage and direct many of the films he appeared in, resulting in such adored classics as The Bellboy, The Ladies Man, The Errand Boy, and The Nutty Professor.
