A team of forty international scientists sets sail for this remote atoll.

Clipperton is the only coral atoll in the Eastern Pacific. Its reef is visited by manta rays, dolphins, white-tip sharks and hammerheads. The central lagoon is cut off from the surrounding ocean, and is filled with fresh water. This makes it a valuable stop-over point for thousands of migrating birds. Its isolated, self-contained environment could also be home to species found nowhere else in the world. On the coral ring itself live huge colonies of boobies and frigates – as well as an extremely large number of crabs, which practically carpet the island from shore to shore. The scientists have just four months to find out all they can about this lost atoll, the island on the edge of the world.

The sea, a “world of silence”? An idea deeply rooted in the collective unconscious ... Yet it is an environment in which marine weightlessness allows sound to travel thousands of kilometers, an environment where hea- ring dominates the view. The parenthesis of the lock down has created an “anthropogenic silence”. In this silence emerges a song, that of the wild world, which uses sound to communicate and find one’s bearings. How to harmonize this sound territory with that of hu- man activities, more and more invasive? As an underwater filmmaker, and ocean lover, to fullfill this quest, I choose to embark the audience on a sensory odyssey, emphasizing the sonic reality of the ocean. We will explore the northwestern Mediterranean coast to the open sea, from containment to the «afterworld». On board a sailboat, we will meet scientists. Committed men and women who seek to define a harmonious cohabitation between man and nature.

A model and a singer, she put the heads of the greatest artists of the time in a spin. In 1996, Françoise Hardy is not only an icon of the yé-yé wave, but also a model in vogue, posing on the front cover of the biggest magazines. Her beauty is driving a number of celebrities crazy. The photographer Jean-Marie Périer courts her madly, with success, and becomes her first love: “It was through looking at his photos that I dis- covered that I had an attractive physique” admits the singer, who had for a long time been self-conscious. Mick Jagger and David Bowie, two superstars, make declarations of infatuation towards her in interviews: “I was flattered, but more so embarrassed that they were in- terested in me” recalls the chronically shy singer… In 2004 Francoise Hardy, whose album Tant de belles choses came out in November of the same year, tells of her life, her career, of Jacques Dutronc, and of her son Thomas, in this intimate portrait..

Dumb and Dumber, The Mask, Me, Myself & Irene, Ace Ventura., Who killed Roger rabbit... Jim Carrey ruled over the 90s with an incurable and subversive style. Contortionist face and actor of the digital revolution he surfed on the last golden age of the cartoon before the takeover by Disney-Marvel franchises in Hollywood. He was the pulling face of the Clinton years, the link between Charlie Chaplin and Roger Rabbit, the last explosion of dumb laugh before the 9/11 depression. Now that Donald Trump, his intimate enemy, stole his role as a toon, what place can Jim Carrey still find on screens where comedy is in decline? Much more than a doc for film buffs, this is a vibrant reminder of a lighthearted era where grotesque and foolish was never too much for Jim Carrey’ Comedies and were the fools were only actors…not Presidents!

A l’époque, c’était l’amie que j’aurais adoré avoir, celle qui fait les pires bêtises pour faire rire et ne se fait jamais prendre, celle qui donne le sentiment que tout est possible. Je ne connais- sais pas grand-chose de l’artiste de cabaret ou de théâtre, de l’actrice exceptionnelle ou de la danseuse qu’elle fût. J’avais 15 ans la première fois que je l’ai rencontré. En me faufilant dans ses loges je laisse une lettre qui lui parlait de mon envie de devenir chan- teur. Annie y répondra quelques semaines plus tard. Aujourd’hui, j’ai 35 ans et près de 20 ans de souvenirs, d’échanges et de moments partagés avec elle. Je ne suis pas devenu chanteur mais Annie m’a permis de réaliser plusieurs de mes rêves. Il y a 3 ans, j’ai décidé de faire ce film pour prendre le temps de comprendre qui était celle qui a été, sans le savoir, l’héroïne de mon histoire. A travers ce portrait personnel j’ai souhaité raconter, avec sa complicité, Annie telle que je l’ai vue, telle que je l’ai perçue, telle que je l’ai aimée.
