                     PIERRE RICHARD: THE QUIET ONE BY GRÉGORY MONRO
                     Who is Pierre Richard? Is he, as is believed by some, the veritable double of
                     François Perrin, a cult character he invented and for whom he often successfully
                     donned the costume and assumed the blunders? Can he simply be reduced to
                     the unlucky hero of La Chèvre (Knock on Wood) or to the Grand Blond (The Tall
                     Blond Man with One Black Shoe)? Focusing on Pierre Richard the author, the
                     film draws the portrait of a discrete poet whose complexity, artistic desires and
                     commitments have disappeared behind the immensity of his success.

                     While Cuba is opening up to the World, Cuba Underground is tracking the
                     alternative places of the island, searching for a new rebellious generation. At
                     the borders of legality, skaters, graffers, punks, stylists and tattoo artists are

                     RYUICHI SAKAMOTO: CODA BY STEPHEN NOMURA SCHIBLE
                     One of the most important artists of our era, Ryuichi Sakamoto has had a
                     prolific career spanning over four decades, from techno-pop stardom to
                     Oscar-winning film composer. The evolution of his music has coincided with
                     his life journeys. Following Fukushima, Sakamoto became an iconic figure in
                     Japan’s social movement against nuclear power. As Sakamoto returns to music
                     following cancer, his haunting awareness of life crises leads to a resounding
                     new masterpiece. RYUICHI SAKAMOTO: CODA is an intimate portrait of both
                     the artist and the man.

                     Where are you, João Gilberto? sets out in the footsteps of German writer Marc
                     Fischer who obsessively searched for the legendary founding father of Bossa
                     Nova, Brazilian musician João Gilberto, who has not been seen in public for
                     decades. Fischer described his journey in a book, Hobalala, but committed
                     suicide one week before it was published. By taking up Marc Fischer’s quest,
                     following his steps one by one, thanks to all the clues he left us, we pursue João
                     Gilberto to understand the history, the very soul and essence of Bossa Nova.
                     But who can tell whether we will meet him or not?

                 Propaganda is a series of short documentaries with the intention of decoding, in
                 a scathing, offbeat way, the marketing techniques used to ensure the success
                 of star products. Each episode equates to a critique of one particular method
                 and is based on an existing “product” & marketing campaign (a NASA mission,
                 the Donald Trump campaign, the launch of Star Wars, Lucky Strike etc.).

                 FILM COMPANY BY RAPHAEL MILLET
                 In 1912-1913, movie pioneer Gaston Méliès, brother of Georges Méliès, did a ten-
                 month long trip around Asia-Pacific, shooting both documentaries and fictions
                 on location in Polynesia, New Zealand, Australia, Java, Singapore, Cambodia
                 and Japan. He wanted the “real” thing” he filmed, with the locals, being one
                 of the first to give Polynesians, Maoris, Aborigines and Khmers a chance to
                 appear on screen. His hybrid cinema dealt with questions of alterity, identity
                 and representation.

                 THE TWO FACES OF AMERICA BY GRÉGORY MONRO
                 With his gauche manner and his slender figure, Stewart embodies a successful
                 life. Mitchum, with his legendary nonchalance and his hangdog look, is more
                 like the naughty kid. When they shared top billing in the 1978 film The Big Sleep,
                 these two actors, certainly did not suspect that they would both embark upon
                 eternal sleep on almost the same day in 1997. What heritage have these two
                 Hollywood legends left behind, and how did their particular qualities feed the
                 American dream?

                 CHAPLIN IN BALI BY RAPHAEL MILLET
                 In 1932, Charlie Chaplin, in the middle of a professional crisis, decides to go on
                 a trip to Bali with his brother Sydney, where he will find peace and inspiration.
                 Further to this journey, Chaplin was able to overcome his fear of talking movies
                 and to direct some of his greatest successes such as Modern Times (1936) and
                 The Great Dictator (1940).
                 Thanks to a little camera, he and his brother recorded this journey offering us
                 for the first time a glimpse of this turning point in Chaplin’s life.

                         all politics. How and why has this experience been successful? What is life like

                         examination in The Penalty. The filmmakers follow the stories of a man wrongly
                         convicted who spent 15 years on death row; a lawyer fighting against increasingly
                         inhumane, botched executions; and a mother battling against the state’s pursuit
                         of the death penalty for her daughter’s murderer. With recent controversial news
                         about executions across the USA, and support for the death penalty at an all-time
                         low, The Penalty is a riveting, forensic examination of the weightiest of issues.

                      BY SOPHIE BASSALER
                      The film tells the story of the intimate and unprecedented encounter between
                      the photojournalists of the Magnum Photo Agency and the world of cinema.
                      The confrontation of two seemingly opposite worlds – fiction and reality. For 70
                      years their paths crossed: a family of photographers, amongst them the biggest
                      names in photography, and a family of actors and filmmakers who helped write
                      the history of cinema, from John Huston to Marilyn Monroe to Orson Welles,
                      Kate Winslet and Sean Penn.

                                 Amos Gitai (Rabin, Free Zone) returns to the occupied territories for the first time
                                 since his 1982 documentary Field Diary. A Brief Moment of Optimism describes
                                 the efforts of citizens, Israelis and Palestinians, who are trying to overcome the
                                 consequences of occupation. Gitai’s film shows the human ties woven by the
                                 military, human rights activists, journalists, mourning mothers and even Jewish
                                 settlers. Faced with the failure of politics, these men and women rise and act in
                                 the name of their civic consciousness. This human energy is a proposal for change.

          in the most unexpected ways, at how to love another without losing ourselves.

the valley, tensions explode and distorting mirrors make no one immune from
suspicion, not even Lana, the bears expert zoologist.

TENDERNESS BY MARION HÄNSEL
WITH OLIVIER GOURMET, MARILYNE CANTO, ADRIEN JOLIVET

A couple, separated for the past 15 years, find themselves together again for the
duration of a two day journey to go and get their son, hospitalized in another
country after a serious ski accident. What do they still feel for one another,
indifference, rancor, jealousy? Or perhaps complicity, friendship and, who
knows, love. This light-hearted road movie, which takes us from Brussels to the
summit of the Alps, will allow us to discover two profoundly sincere beings for
whom we can only feel affection.

     EACH AND EVERY MOMENT BY NICOLAS PHILIBERT
     Every year in France, tens of thousands of young women embark upon studies that will lead them to
     become nurses. Admitted to an IFSI - Nursing Training Institute - they will spend three years between
     lectures, tutorials, practical exercises and field training. Three intense and difficult years during which
     they will have to acquire a great deal of knowledge, master numerous technical procedures and prepare
     themselves for heavy responsibilities. Three years to build themselves up, supporting each other when
     things are too tough, when they flag a little.                              ARCHIPEL 35 / 2018 / DOCUMENTARY

     SAMOUNI ROAD BY STEFANO SAVONA
     In the rural outskirts of Gaza City a small community of farmers, the Samouni extended family, is about
     to celebrate a wedding. It’s going to be the first celebration since the last war. Amal, Fuad, their brothers
     and their cousins have lost their parents, their houses and their olive trees. The neighborhood where
     they live is being rebuilt. As they replant trees and plow fields, they face their most difficult task: piecing
     together their own memory.

SONS OF HONOR BY SOPHIA LUVARÀ
In the most violent region of Italy - Calabria - the ‘Ndrangheta mafia rules. One of the few who dares to
stand up against the mafia is the President of the juvenile court, Roberto Di Bella. He took a drastic step
by starting a re-education programme titled “Free to Choose”. The programme separates teenage boys
from their mafia families to break a generational cycle of criminality. The goal is straightforward: to show
the teenager, who has been g roomed for a life of violence and criminality, that there is another way of
life. Sons of Honor is an epic coming-of-age drama that follows the crusade of Roberto Di Bella, a man
living under protection 24/7. Through him and his team of the Juvenile Court, we will meet the sons of
some of the most dangerous men in Italy.
