Tiziano is a little boy almost like the others, who grows up between the demonstrations in Chile, the history of his family and the innocence of his age.

Juan, the film director, is Ecuadorian, his partner, Francisca, is Cuban. They live in Paris where their two children were born, just like Juan 30 years earlier. By switching back and forward from past to present, between the history of a family across 3 generations and that of a whole continent, the film director considers the issue of political commitment and the heritage left to the next generation in the form of a letter from a father to his children.

Posthumous portrait of Chris Marker, the elusive French filmmaker- essayist, traveller, photographer and cat-lover. Two filmmakers, Jean-Marie Barbe and Arnaud Lambert, propose a chronological journey through his thoughts and cinematographic work: from the cartography of new political utopia in the 1950s, from Siberia to La Habana, to its relentless defeat, starting with Chile; from his review of cinéma-verité to the great television experience in "L'Héritage de la chouette", which traces a journey through classical Greece, organized into twelve words.

How do you craft the portrait of Jean-Luc Godard, or better yet a portrait of his methodology, his universe, his way of constructing or deconstructing cinema, that is equal to his own cinematic audacity and genius? How could it be anything other than by taking risks, and trying out equally radical methods, never straying from to his example. The two filmmakers immerse us into the storage warehouse where, in 2010, all the archives kept by Godard in Switzerland were transferred, and they create a doppelganger (or a duplicate) of the director, who takes up the role of our guide into his world. Excerpts from his writings, his images, his perspective in cinema give us a glimpse into his mythology, his techniques, his singular gaze, and therefore also in his worldview.

Le Rite, la Folle et moi is a story of transmission, an opportunity to understand the weight of traditions and the complexity of African cultures. It is above all an opportunity for two sisters to erase the insult that taints their grandmother's descendants.

"It's me ! I'm the friend of nature ! " The number of those who break into this fashionable tune is growing. But it's rather paradoxical as, while this statement reaches the charts, the "artificial" (images, machines...) progress rapidly. Between hi-tech and virtual, the concept of nature holds its own, but has become rather confusing. What his happening to the notion of nature today ? The purpose of this documentary is to answer that question through many stimulating encounters with the genetician, Mr Albert Jacquard, the philosopher, Mr Pierre Lévy, the chemist and Doctor in philosophy, Ms Isabelle Stengers and the "anthropologist of the sciences", Mr Bruno Latour.

After “Letter From a Time of Exile”, the director is back in Lebanon where he discovers that his dreams about his country are an illusion and that the exile in your homeland is by far the worst exile. Programmer's Note: Borhane Alaouié returns to Beirut from his exile. His documentary film constitutes a new letter at the start of the 21st century in reply to the letters of the 1980s. The reconstruction process appears to affect stones more than people.
