Marc Scialom
Tahar Aïbi, Marie-Christine Lefort
In 1970, Tahar, a young Tunisian, travels to France for the first time to help his older brother, who is wrongly accused of murder and incarcerated in Paris. He first stops in Marseille, where he meets Tunisians very different from those familiar to him; enigmatic French people; and a strange atmosphere that makes him doubt his brother’s innocence, his own innocence and his own mental integrity.
Lettre à la prison
La parole perdue
Marc Scialom
The soundtrack brings together two voices, one male, one female. The woman seems to encourage the man to say something close to his heart but oppresses. The man seems aphasic, it will first only inarticulate sounds and sighs, then he manages to articulate words which all mean the rejection of war and its horrors. Band image has presented some drawings being traced (we guess, behind the translucent sheet of paper on which they appear, the shadow of the painter who traces, Mélik Ouzani): these drawings expressionist style evoke the sinister military glory, the massacres which are the reverse of the glory.

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 !
