The collection primarily explores the history of animals and makes this the axis for a new approach to the relationship between animals and mankind. Animals have a history. Two in fact: the history that belongs to them in their own right (even if only men can relate it) and that which they share with us. This common history is made up of isolated encounters, often paradoxical and surprising, where man is not necessarily in control but where he is at times dependent on the events of the animal's own history.

Available rights ENGLISH, FRENCH, GERMAN Version(s) TV, NON-THEATRICAL RIGHTS, DVD, VOD Production year 2007 An untold story about the cold war on the African continent, or the defeat of an ideal, internationalism, which Cuban guerrillas failed to defend. In Africa, in the early '60s, four adversaries with conflicting interests face off: the Soviets want to expand their influence; the United States intend to appropriate the continent's natural riches; the former empires seek to revive their shaky colonial power; and the young nations defend their newly-won independence, armed with an ideal: internationalism. African revolutionaries like Patrice Lumumba, Amilcar Cabral and Agostinho Neto call on Cuban guerrillas to help them in their struggle, and Fidel Castro's men will play a central role on the continent, from Che Guevara's tragicomic epic in the Congo up to the triumph of the battle of Cuito Cuanavale in Angola. This film relates a largely untold story, going from 1961 to 1989, with archives and interviews to back it up.

Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, is given over to the butchers of the extremist Hutu militia and the P Rwandan army. During an attack on a parish in which a hundred refugees have taken shelter, the author, at that time a O reporter/cameraman, is shot in the hip. Ten years later, he returns to the scene in search of survivors and his ephemeral 'fellow travelers'. With this journey as its thread, the film is a reflection upon the way such R events are handled by the media and politicians. A AWARDS : R Critic's International Week - 2006 Cannes Film Festival.

Available rights FRENCH, ENGLISH, GERMAN Version(s) TV, NON-THEATRICAL RIGHTS, VOD, DVD, INTERNET Out of 70,000 men sent to Guiana penal colonies, less than 9,000 survived their sentences. "I have been commissioned to give you a new life. In France, you are criminals but here I only want to see repenting men". Such were the words of the senior superintendent of French Guiana to the first convicts who arrived on The Iles du Salut (Salvation Islands) in August 1852. The 298 common law criminals and 3 political deportees had left Brest a few weeks earlier. First of a long list, this landing of convicts marked the beginning of the most disastrous period of Guiana history and the darkest times of the French penitentiary administration system, that of penal colony which lasted one century. With open air prisons and hundreds of interdependent ramifications, each of them being organised very differently, Guiana penal colonies still captivate and are little-known. Guiana penal colonies used to be, and remain, a French Eldorado: a South American continent where people dreamt of power and wealth and yet became the endless nightmare of thousands of convicts. Penal colonies transformed French Guiana into the so-called land of "the dry guillotine", a "path towards rottenness" where all "prison sentences" were in fact life sentences. Out of 70,000 men sent to penal colonies, less than 9,000 survived their sentences.

Has this typical criminal's portrait evolved through the years? Which logics provided the parameters for a "bad guy's face"? A Berlin, 1943. Bruno Lüdke, a young man of the suburbs, is accused of 81 murders. His whole body is an R accusation, starting from his face: the "bad guy's face", one of a true brutish lout. For the Police of the time Y there's no doubt he is guilty. And his name is still associated today to the image of an appalling serial killer. H I S T O R Y 9 10 CURRENT AFFAIRS 11 02 12 AT THE HEART OF EUROPE Author Sergio GHIZZARDI Director Sergio GHIZZARDI Producer LIEURAC PRODUCTIONS, ARTE FRANCE Durations 1x52min,1x88min Available territories Worldwide except Belgium, Finland, Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, French-speaking Switzerland and The Netherlands. Available rights FRENCH, GERMAN, ENGLISH Version(s) TV, VIDEO, VOD, NON-THEATRICAL RIGHTS, INTERNET Production year 2006 We accompanied the President of the European Commission, José Manuel Durao Barroso, at every stage of his life and career during 6 months. On November 17, 2004, Jose Manuel Durao Barroso became the first President of the European Commission of the 25 member states. Many consider that he has the most difficult political job in the world. The documentary seeks to discover how much scope national governments, European members of Parliament, pressure groups and journalists give the President of the Commission. In a form of a survey, we discover step by step the mystery of power, or its absence, within the Eurocracy. We embark on a trip into the heart of the European Union and sneak into one of its buildings, Berlaymont, the EC headquarters, where men and women have to meet the requirements of a world undergoing perpetual change. The slightest gesture is analyzed, observed, criticized, and fed to the general public. In Brussels, some 1000 journalists are accredited to the European Union, more than in Washington. The documentary takes us into Berlaymont and down its corridors in order to comprehend how the European Commission tackles key issues directly affecting citizens. We finally grasp what may push the EC to make certain choices that change our everyday life and question its legitimacy. We observe whether Europe is a technocratic industry without a true vision or, on the contrary, if it is a true human adventure, that of a few men and women ready to face the big issues of our time. The EC President and former Portuguese Prime Minister chosen by his peers to run what could be called the "Berlaymont team", is the common theme linking these various issues.
