Rescuing a Fantasy Classic (2021)

Шустрый и нечистоплотный торговец антиквариатом Фелисьен Мезере случайно видит на широкой спине позирующего художнику пожилого человека необычную татуировку. Опытный глаз пройдохи сразу определяет руку мастера — и действительно, этот рисунок когда-то сделал майору Леграну великий Модильяни. Фелисьен незамедлительно предлагает Леграну продать кожу со спины за любые деньги, но тот с возмущением отвергает абсурдное предложение. Но обезумевший от жадности антиквар готов на все, лишь бы заполучить в свои руки бесценный шедевр и продать его втридорога. Легран в конце концов соглашается, но в обмен на небольшую услугу. Фелисьен не раздумывая соглашается, и они отправляются в необычное путешествие…

Among the pieces featured in Fragments are the final reel of John Ford's The Village Blacksmith (1922) and a glimpse at Emil Jannings in The Way of All Flesh (1927), the only Oscar®-winning performance in a lost film. Fragments also features clips from such lost films as Cleopatra (1917), starring Theda Bara; The Miracle Man (1919), with Lon Chaney; He Comes Up Smiling (1918), starring Douglas Fairbanks; an early lost sound film, Gold Diggers of Broadway (1929), filmed in early Technicolor, and the only color footage of silent star Clara Bow, Red Hair (1928).

To produce speech, a set of mechanisms must be brought together. What is the normal articulation for speech? How to produce the sounds that make it up in the correct way? A physiological analysis of the aspects of speech shows us how: the jaw must move in a certain way; the air must be expelled from the lungs in another. Based on the concepts stated in the film "Normal Speech Articulation" (1965), produced by the University of Iowa (USA), we intend to reflect on the way women have been represented, and consequently educated, over the years, both in film and in the media. Largely composed of archival footage, this film intends to make evident, through a montage inspired by Structuralist movements, the violence of this education.

The National Library of France is the guardian of priceless treasures that tell our history, our illustrious thinkers, writers, scholars and artists. Telling the story of the exceptional treasures of the National Library of France is like opening a great history book rich in many twists and turns. Without the love of the kings of France for books and precious objects, this institution would never have seen the light of day. The story begins in the 14th century under the reign of a passionate writer, Charles V, who set up a library in his apartments in the Louvre. But it was not until the 17th century, and the reign of Louis XIV, a lover of the arts and letters, that the royal library took over its historic quarters in the rue Vivienne in Paris, which it still occupies.

As notions of civil rights transformed across the world, so was the screen landscape reformed by the ascension of grassroots film movements seeking to challenge the mainstream.
