1962, at the end of the Algerian War, Algerian independence activists are released from Rennes prison. For one night, filmmaker Yann Le Masson films them. They tell him their vision for the future of Algeria and the place women must occupy in the new society to be built. Fifty years later, with the soundtrack missing, Raphaël Pillosio sets out to find these women. Two deaf people set about lip-reading the women filmed by Yann Le Masson, revealing snatches of sentences, words cut short by the camera's shifts. An investigative film in which the few activists still alive discover their old testimonies and tell us their silent story. The reconstruction of the lost soundtrack will remain in suspense; no happy ending will come to absorb the absence, to cancel the ferocious operation of time. An essay film about cinema that depicts their disappearance, and forever keeps them alive.

As monuments continue to be toppled, relocated and reassessed all over the world, this documentary takes us to Dubai, Kuwait City, Abu Dhabi and Sanaa, questioning what defines monuments -what they are and what they could become, while retracing their non-linear biographical trajectories. In these cities, they have been virtually understudied and their stories remain invisible. Monumenting retraces them as we follow how participants to the research process engage in guessing rather than asserting what they know. Without noticing it, we are invited into a research journey in which diverse voices offer an unusual approach to cities in the Arabian Peninsula and a kaleidoscopic mapping of monuments and memory.

For this new work created for Le Générateur, Jacques Perconte sensually captures the high mountains, the camera listening to a few mountaineers suspended in their efforts between skies and stones, their hearts vibrating to the rhythm of their gestures, balance between two dimensions : there and here. L'Effort, le monde transforms the 400m2 of the Generator into an immense porthole, like the cockpit of a strange ship discovering a land that we can no longer see without thinking of the infernal machine that makes us powerful. The film has neither beginning nor end, in a continuous movement it accompanies its visitors outside of time. Thus propelled into another dimension, the space of the Generator allows a journey to be made sitting or standing, or leisurely while strolling.
