Camille Claudel, artiste maudite

The elder sister of writer Paul Claudel, Camille had an extraordinary life as a woman and an artist. During her lifetime, the young sculptor was admired, exhibited, and her talent was recognized by critics. “1:15 p.m. on Sunday” explores the turbulent history of this artistic genius in a new four-part series by Pauline Dordilly, Henri Desaunay, and Anthony Santoro. Auguste Rodin, considered one of the greatest sculptors of his time, was captivated by her creative force. He made her his student, his muse, and then his lover. Yet she met a tragic fate: for thirty years, she was confined to an asylum. She died there in 1943, amid general indifference, forgotten by all, like her work. Too often reduced to her tumultuous love affair with Auguste Rodin, what was Camille Claudel's life really like?

Amérique, la nouvelle histoire des premiers hommes

From the far north of Canada to the southern tip of Chile, through the southern United States, central Mexico and the Brazilian Mato Grosso, new concordant but still controversial archaeological discoveries have brought a new paradigm to the archaeology of American prehistory: the appearance of the first humans on the continent could date back to nearly 30,000 years before our era, that is to say, about 15,000 years earlier than the commonly accepted and taught thesis. Although there were a few mavericks in the past who disputed the scenario according to which the first ancestors of Americans arrived on foot through the Bering Strait 16,000 years ago, they were long kept out of the scientific community.

Guet-apens, des crimes invisibles

The result of an investigation that lasted several months, this documentary film reveals the extent of a phenomenon that we thought had disappeared: the traps, sometimes deadly, that target homosexuals on dating applications or sites. Ten years after the law opening marriage to same-sex couples, and in the run-up to the World Day against LGBTphobia on May 17, it demonstrates the persistence of homophobia in France. It also questions the way the police and the justice system respond to these attacks. The voice of the film is provided by Eddy de Pretto, a singer committed against homophobia.
