Marie-Claude Treilhou
An amateur choir in the 13th arrondissement in Paris. Once a week, 30 children, 20 teenagers and 50 adults meet to rehearse and sing together under the direction of Claire Marchand, choir director. There are moments of joy, discouragement, shared pleasure and music. From the first auditions to the final concert, the film listens and watches this community at work.

La Machine
Paul Vecchiali
Jean-Christophe Bouvet, Sonia Saviange
Pierre Lentier murders an 8-year-old in horrendous circumstances. This 30-something solitary factory worker who lives on the edge of society is sentenced to death. A damning indictment of the death penalty and the manipulative behaviour of the media.

Simone Barbes ou la vertu
Marie-Claude Treilhou

Simone and Martine are usherettes in a porno cinema in Montparnasse. Installed in the hall, they greet regulars, put men in their place, chat and pass the time. At midnight Simone departs to a lesbian nightclub.

Le jour des rois
Marie-Claude Treilhou
Danielle Darrieux, Micheline Presle
Three old sisters get together every Sunday. For Epiphany Sunday, the program is busy: eating at the Chinese restaurant, drawing the kings and finally going to see, reluctantly, the show of the fourth sister, the extravagant one, the scandalous one, who is part of a comic troupe of the third age...

Un petit cas de conscience
Marie-Claude Treilhou
Ingrid Bourgoin, Dominique Cabrera
Two lesbians are victims of a break-in. Together with their clan of friends, they undertake a wild investigation, with suspense and rigour, to arrive at the truth. Sensitivities are aroused around life choices, and political choices. Questions of morality comically embellished with words of abuse falling into drunkenness.

L'âne qui a bu la lune
Marie-Claude Treilhou
Didier Serres, Jean Guilaine
In a small village in the Corbieres, a grandfather tells his grandson five tales from his repertoire. The first one follows three young people who went to Paris to learn French. "Le Maire de Quillan" tells how a pig became mayor of the village. "Le Moine change en ane" is a story with four characters where the monk and the donkey become one. "The Donkey who drank the moon" is a facetious story that embroiders on misunderstandings. The last one is a tale in formation.

Serge Bozon
Thomas Chabrol, Laure Marsac
In the fall of 2010, Bozon and co-conspirator Pascale Bodet commandeered the first floor of Paris’s famed Centre Pompidou for 10 days of screenings, lectures and performances that amounted to a counter-canonical history of French cinema. During the ensuing merriment (entitled Beaubourg, la dernière Major !) audience members were invited to observe the daily making of this film, directed by Bozon and written by Axelle Ropert, about an inexperienced young journalist (Laure Marsac) sent to the Pompidou to interview a maverick artistic impresario (Thomas Chabrol). The result is an unexpected love story that is also a record of this landmark exhibition, featuring cameos by Raul Ruiz, Paul Vecchiali, Luc Moullet and more !

Comme si, comme ça
Marie-Claude Treilhou
Michel Deguy
What should we do today with poems from the past ? Why do poetry today and how ? Sitting behind his desk, Michel Deguy, great living poet, speaks, smokes and thinks with the same generous enthusiasm. Marie-Claude Treilhou records the thinking words, articulates their development through a series of readings or sung recitations of the poems dissected by their author. Fathoming the depths of “ecopoeticology” of Deguy, Comme si, comme ça makes up the most sober and vivid of portraits. “Without ever bragging”, as suggested by the contemporary ethics the poet formulates in the film.
