In the spring of 1999, around ten graffiti artists from Toulouse and the Paris region gathered in Paris to cover a massive wall. Their goal was to create a mural titled "Third Millennium." This project was a rare feat in the graffiti world: a collective effort to produce their best work. Trumac chronicles the first two years of this group, made up of two crews: Truskool from Toulouse and Mac from Paris. Trumac takes us across France, from Marseille to Niort via Toulouse, and ultimately to the hip-hop mecca, New York. There, they meet graffiti legends like T-Kid, Daze, Cope2, Ink76, and Tats Crew.
Near Charleroi, Colin lives alone with his mother in a dilapidated house that collapses a little more each day. Faced with this misery, he writes with his friends in his room, which has been converted into a kind of improvised "youth center." Rap. As a safety valve and a necessity. The only way they have found to talk about this poverty in the heart of Europe, which is no longer even visible. Not even on our TV screens. As long as the house stands, they will not go outside. As long as they write together, they will not fall.
Last June, I encountered Arno, a twenty-year-old man, with whom I immediately fell in love. To be sure that I’d see him, although he didn’t share my feelings, I proposed that we work together on a project that became "Compilation, 12 instants d’amour non partagé". Through summer, from June 21 to September 21, I asked him to come to my house daily to listen to music. This music would become the only dialog between us. It would be the commentary of the evolution of my feelings for him, would drive him into a corner, caress and take him by surprise.

Adrienne is not my mother. She is not Jewish. I met her five years ago, at Edouard’s, where I’d gone to ask my friend to lend me a dinner jacket for the premiere of my film “Life Lessons”. She came to see the film and we began to meet often (Boris Lehman).
This film is built as a funeral ceremony ; it conveys an investigation on the underworld. In an environment of devastated telluric forces (one-hundred-year-old trees from the Fontainebleau forest were uprooted by the storm of 1999 winter). There is a superb officiating priest in a black tuxedo. The film refers to the everlasting cycle of death, the extraction of a corpse by a young nymph remind’s us of Caravaggio’s paintings, this ceremony is full of ablutions and jewellery; a flowy, golden path to a wonderful mirror through which the miracle of resurrection takes place.

Syriak, Justin and David meet by chance in front of a map of Paris at Austerlitz station. Justin is released from prison. David is hospitalized in Paris and Syriak has been expelled by his wife.

On personal plans ?
In 79 AD, the eruption of Mount Vesuvius buried the city and inhabitants of Pompeii under volcanic debris and preserved—until excavations in 1909—a vast fresco painted a century and a half earlier in a suburban villa. Populated by twenty-nine life-size figures against a vivid red background, this decoration, as famous as it is enigmatic, has given rise to several interpretations, which this film seeks to clarify with the help of documentary evidence.

This sensitive and clear-eyed documentary accompanies five women at the edge of the labor market as they grapple with the compounded pressures of gender inequality and economic insecurity. Their unending work mopping, cutting, cleaning, folding, cooking, sorting, and calculating highlights the overlap of first, second, and third shifts for women, and situates the diffuse transformation of proletariat into precariat at the level of daily life. One of the key works by journalist and engaged documentarian Marcel Trillat. Although he passed away in 2020, his kindness, warmth, and generosity will not be forgotten.

The work is unique; it is the product of individuality, and to believe in the work is to believe in the individual, in humanity. To visualize the path that leads from the artist's thoughts and emotions to the painting, to watch Françoise Deverre work with the material, confront the surface of the canvas, make the right gesture, and let forth what becomes obvious when a moment earlier it did not exist. This is what this film is about.
Pascal Baes experiments with the reflecting feedback of a video projector in a meticulous interaction with a performance by his life companion Aï Suzuki. In post-processing, the images were digitally edited, which results in an expressionist, abstract study of the human body. With the help of various effects, Baes radically intervenes on the images, mutating shapes, penetrating textures and reconstructing his visual experiment into a psychedelic phantasm of the ‘corpus humanis’ and distorted sensuality. Demographical lines fuse together with shreds of human body and facial traits in a restless outburst of colour, lighting and movement, expanding in interaction with an electronic composition of sliding and lashing sounds into a claustrophobic experience.
Returning to his beloved native Marseille, Carpita focuses on three unemployed dockworkers who try to earn their keep by selling seafood.
