Cinéma La Comète
With director Jérôme Prieur in person.
The memorials of WWI have become so familiar that we no longer see them. They are an invisible museum that has come to merge with the landscapes of France. Then, one fine day, a sculpture catches our eye. Another story emerges, perhaps the biggest artistic project since the cathedrals. These statues take us into a world parallel to our own, where the ghosts of the Great War live on.

Lycée Bayen
With the producer Fabrice Frank in person.
More than 1,000 ghettos were established between 1939 and 1941. It is widely believed they were created by the Nazi leadership as a temporary measure, pending the “Final Solution”. But this new historical perspective on the chronology of the Shoah allows us to consider the ghettos in a new light with access to never released personal archives, film, letters and photographs.

Lycée Bayen
With director Christophe Cognet in person.
A handful of prisoners in WWII camps risked their lives to take clandestine photographs and document the hell the Nazis were hiding from the world. In the vestiges of the camps, director Christophe Cognet retraces the footsteps of these courageous men and women in a quest to unearth the circumstances and the stories behind their photographs, composing as such an archeology of images as acts of defiance.
