- For thirty years, Chinari's inhabitants have been trying to survive the war between the Azeris and the Armenians and the difficult conditions imposed by the blockade. Among them, there is the Petrossian family. The film accompanies their daily life in their struggle for survival.
- In Moscow, on the Red Square, film-maker Xavier Villetard opens the doors to the mausoleum of Lenin, which is unusual, since it normally stays closed. From 1924 until the fall of the USSR in 1991, the embalmed body of the hero of the October Revolution was publicly displayed as a holy relic. By using voice-over narration, the filmmaker directly addresses Lenin. Despite this freedom of expression, the archival images and comments of historians tell a different story: more than 24 years of Soviet history. It is presented to us by exploring the ritual of mummification of important Communist leaders, focusing especially on the Stalin era. Those who worked in the mausoleum's laboratory, a place that is now left abandoned, bring light into this little-known subject with the help of numerous details: the embalming of corpses and the conservation of Lenin's dead body. The documentary finishes off with a key question: What does the Russian state consider doing with the body of the founder of the USSR? An interesting documentary, sometimes slightly dark, which is to be viewed by secondary school students, who have already studied the history of the Soviet Union, as well as modern Russia.
- As a young man, I came to Vilnius 10 years ago to work with Lithuanian master filmmaker Sharunas Bartas. I was rather naive and inexperienced, I still had to discover what ils the relation between the words "Author" and "Authority". I lived in a corner of his studio, an old wooden house in the middle of the forest, and bits by bits started to get inside his elusive creative process. But the full picture was missing. In order to put things together, I needed to come back.
- The city of Limoges extends into the cosmopolitan district of Beaubreuil. At the heart of it, its shopping center. There are shops there, but not only: life is organized in these places which range from the library to the hypermarket, passing by the hairdresser, the bar-tabac or even the simple bench. Saturday intensity, Sunday suspension: we discover that much more than just a place of commerce, the center is a playground, a place of connection.
- The story of Rosie narrated on the empty images of places we knew some years ago
- In Beauce stretches a concrete viaduct, twenty kilometers long. It is the experimental railway of the aerotrain, a king-size project of the Trente Glorieuses. A hovertrain that would be speeding at 450 km/h. A dream. A monumental failure.
- Follows the journey of reconciliation of Helen, a young Estonian pianist currently living in Chicago, with her city, her roots and music. A digressive and contemplative road movie, full of roams and encounters, between Tallinn and the US.
- In 1942, my grandmother was forced to leave her Russian village, which had been burnt down by the German army. She was twenty-five years old at the time, and died thirty-six years later, here in France. I was ten years old then. I knew little about her. 65 years later I went to Russia.
