What causes a man who has everything to jeopardize his comfort, career and relationship? A passion, as burning as it is fresh, for five acres of land in the Limoges region. But land has to be earned, especially when one comes from the city. And so Franck embarks on a quest for his own Holy Grail. He needs a tractor.

A pioneering post-war female film director, an instigator of the New Wave who was honored by Hollywood in her own lifetime, Agnès Varda has become a source of inspiration for a whole new generation of young filmmakers. With movies like Cléo de 5 à 7, Le Bonheur, Sans toit ni loi, Les Glaneurs et la glaneuse, she created a quirky, open to the world, sensitive to the disenfranchised, often silly body of work. Always one finger on the pulse, she shook everything up, including cinema itself which she refused to constrict to pure fiction or long-form films.

Em Paris de 1880, Auguste Rodin finalmente recebe, aos 40 anos, sua primeira encomenda do Estado: A Porta do Inferno, obra composta de figuras que farão sua glória, como O Beijo e O Pensador. Ele divide sua vida com Rose, sua eterna companheira, quando conhece a jovem Camille Claudel, sua aluna mais talentosa, que rapidamente torna-se sua assistente e, em seguida, sua amante. Dez anos de paixão, mas também dez anos de admiração e cumplicidade compartilhada. Após a dissolução, Rodin continua a trabalhar com determinação. Ele deve encarar a rejeição e o entusiasmo que a sensualidade da sua escultura provoca e assina com seu Balzac, rejeitado enquanto vivo, ponto de partida incontestável da escultura moderna.

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.

They’re all nuts. Her parents, who want to send her off to boarding school. Her new teacher, who expects her to read impossibly old books. Her fellow band members, who make her sing ridiculous lyrics and dress her up in a frilly white dress for their first show. Everyone seems to know what she should do and how she should act. And it’s not like 13-year-old Aurore has any fundamental problem with changing herself either. Who would want to be like this: unhappy, ugly and emotionally withdrawn? But the others don’t seem all that much happier to her either. She definitely doesn’t ever want to be as old, rundown and lonely as her mother. And so she prefers to stay the way she is, to observe and make her biting comments on whatever comes her way.

Thirty years old, a nothing job, a timid love affair: Rémi is a little at sea in his life. Until the day when he must share it with his double, another him, invasive and not so nice. Which one will be the true Rémi?

Is there such a thing as strictly feminine cinema? Is it more difficult for a woman than for a man to direct a film? Is gender parity necessary in the industry? Actress and producer Julie GAYET and actor and director Mathieu BUSSON ask these questions to twenty French woman filmmakers, who face a camera together for the first time. After over an hour of lively, informal, spontaneous and funny interviews, it becomes obvious that these issues are still problematic and definitely worthy of a documentary. As Mia HANSEN-LØVE remarks, “In the eyes of the people, a woman’s film is always a woman’s film, while a man’s movie is simply… a movie”.

Gracieuse é uma amazona competente e está indignada porque venderam seu cavalo de salto. Agora terá que abrir caminho em um mundo de influências e dinheiro para conseguir o cavalo que a ajude a conquistar a glória.

Basse Normandie is based on actual events. Protagonists Simon Reggiani and Patricia Mazuy are also husband and wife in real life. They filmed the creation of one of Simon’s plays, and then reenacted some of the events surrounding it. Simon prepares for a one-man show that he will perform largely on horseback, including dressage. The local government of the region hopes to use the play to improve its image; with government’s support, it’s decided that Simon will perform the play before an audience of over 1,700 farmers during an agricultural congress in Paris. The director of a large stud farm provides Simon with rehearsal space. What follows is the path that Reggiani had to take in order to create his performance — a path filled with obstacles ranging from uncooperative stable staff and a grumpy horse to vocal problems. An intriguing and occasionally absurd mixture of filmed theater, a making-of documentary, mockumentary and dressage lesson.

Mazuy's first film, made while nannying in L.A. A lovers on the lam story. No longer in circulation, partly because of music rights issues with The Doors' "The End", which features prominently - although Ray Manzarek does get a special thanks, as does Agnès Varda.
