Dessine-toi...

The squeaking of a black felt pen echos to children around the world, who apply themselves to making their self-portraits. Like the method put into placae by Georges Clouzot in Le Mystère Picasso, in which the artist painted on a transparent "canvas", Gilles Porte films children who don't yet know how to read or write busy drawing on "the other side" of a glass pane. Bursts of creativity, thought, inspiration blackouts, tears and laughter: Dessine-toi allows us to share the grace of childhood.

Magnetic Mountains

In October 2014, Steve Wakeford, a sports broadcast editor, fell 70 metres whilst climbing a mountain known as Les Petites Jorasses in the French Alps. It was a fall that required him to be airlifted out of the mountains suffering from a number of serious injuries and resulted in him being temporarily left in a wheelchair - he is lucky to be alive. At the start of a long journey of rehabilitation, he began to ask himself some serious questions - 'Regardless of injury or trauma, why are we drawn to the mountains in the first place? Is risk an essential part of what we do? Perhaps most importantly, why is it that I am planning to climb the same route from which I fell?'
