Brainious

This documentary explains what every adult should know about kids' brains in order to help children thrive, and unlock their potential. Today, we do know a lot about the brain, but curiously we don't use our knowledge to raise our children, or educate them. Schools are still the same, parents have the same doubts and make the same mistakes. Knowing what is happening in our children's brains change the paradigm, and force to think about education in a more enlightened way. From emotion to mindsets, BRAINIOUS resonates also with our inner-child, and probably helps us to understand better the grown ups we've become.

Imaginary Tales

A documentary film that can best be described as a portrait of an author about and featuring André Forcier. It is the story of an extraordinary and undeniable filmmaker in the landscape of Canadian national cinema and a pillar at the heart of its identity. It is an opportunity to relive his work, known for its strong dose of magical realism, through the reenactment of scenes from his entire filmography. It is a walk through his world, which sometimes appears like a memory, a footprint, or a recollection.

I carve smiles into mountains' wounds

Achour is thirty. Night and day, he walks. Rebellious soul, he crisscrosses Alger and its neighborhoods, stays at friends' houses and often leaves the city to meet the nearby montain in Kabylia, his alter-ego. In this environment, marked by war and terrorism, his resistance continues, mobile and ascending. Algerian hardcore-punk musician, Achour once screamed his anger against the country's regime and sang "Anarchytecture". But the movement died down, friends went their separate ways. His Facebook wall became his notebook, his window open to the world. It represents a scream aimed towards the echo of the mountains, between virtual wall, infinite facades of large complexes and the strata of mineral cliffs. A scream comes back at us.

Fake America Great Again

The Cambridge Analytica scandal broke in March 2018. Several media outlets, including The Guardian, which had attempted to alert the public even before the US presidential election, revealed how the personal data of 87 million Facebook users had been collected and exploited by this company to promote Donald Trump. Conducted over several months by director Thomas Huchon, this investigation reveals a new aspect of the affair, detailing both how the data was used and the little-known role of the man who financed and orchestrated this massive manipulation: the ultra-conservative billionaire Robert Mercer, who heads the highly successful investment fund Renaissance Technologies. The man who bought the far-right website Breitbart News in 2012 also controls Cambridge Analytica, and decided to use both to impose his political agenda on the entire nation.

Chambord: The Leonardo Da Vinci Mystery

A building lost in the midst of a 5 000 hectare park, that's the equivalent of the surface of Paris, Chambord is the castle of all superlatives. Having required nearly 220,000 tonnes of stone to build, the Chateau de Chambord, in the Loir-et-Cher department, is an architectural gem. 156 metres of facade, it has more than 70 staircases, 282 fireplaces and 426 rooms. The castle commissioned by Francis 1st in the 16th century is also the most mysterious. The majestic monument has its share of mysteries: identity of its architect, influence of the Florentine painter Leonardo da Vinci in its design, location in the middle of marshes in the heart of the forest and even longevity because it has survived through time without being damaged since the beginning of its construction in September 1519.
