Portrait of philosopher and writer Andr\u00e9 Glucksmann, who grew up during the Second World War. A member of the Communist Party at the age of 14, he became a Maoist activist after the events of 1968, before becoming associated with the “new philosophers” movement. At 75, the author of La Cuisini\u00e8re et le Mangeur d’hommes has lost none of his youthful rage. He talks about his career, the causes that are close to his heart and the intellectuals who have marked his life, such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Michel Foucault and Anna Politkovskaya, and continues to speak out against war and totalitarianism.<\/p>\n
See awards and reviews<\/a><\/p>\n A nomadic love story in the heart of today’s Central Asia, amid the rubble of Soviet rule and the renaissance of nationalities. A young Kyrgyz girl and a Kazakh sinner each try to escape a dead-end story; they manage to find each other and try to conquer their freedom. Breaking away from, and at the same time continuing, ancient traditions, their love story takes them through valleys, mountains, steppes and towns, following the course of the dried-up rivers that once brought life to the land, to their new world: between East and West. They try to invent a place where it would be good to love each other, on earth or in Tengri, the blue of the sky… The mountains are full of ravines and the roads full of ambushes… Where will they get to?<\/p>\n See awards and reviews<\/a><\/p>\n In 1992, Marie Jaoul de Poncheville shot a film in Mongolia, “Molom, conte de Mongolie”, a traditional Mongolian tale about a child and a shaman played by the late actor Tsededoi. Nine years later, she returned to see the child in her film and paint a portrait of him. See awards and reviews <\/a><\/p>\n Filmmaker Abderrahmane Sissako returns to Sokolo, the small village in Mali where he shot “Life on Earth”, with the desire to screen the film to share with the villagers this moment of cinema in which they had been the actors and of which they will become the spectators. The film “La projection” is the director’s discreet witness in Sokolo during the screening of his film “La vie sur terre”. It’s not just a screening, but the act of sharing, of giving back to those who played in this film what they gave. The screening is a look at the relationship that has developed between the village and the film crew, and the responsibility the filmmakers have taken on to raise awareness of the life of this small village.<\/p>\n See awards and reviews <\/a><\/p>\n In the small village of Sokolo, lost in an oasis in the middle of the Malian desert, the inhabitants are watching over the new millennium. On this occasion, Dramane returns to the village to visit his father. On several occasions, he comes across a young girl on a bicycle from Kourouma, a neighboring village, where they exchange a few brief conversations. Meanwhile, villagers are struggling to contact their loved ones, due to telephone connection problems.<\/p>\n Production Consultant and Artistic Director, Molom is a traditional Mongolian tale about a child and a venerable shaman (played by the now-deceased Tsededoi). – The most beautiful film of the year…” NEW YORK TIMES<\/p>\n See other awards and reviews <\/a><\/p>\n

Y\u00f6nden<\/span><\/h3>\n
He is 17 years old. Throughout their nine-year separation, they kept in touch thanks to Dr Alain Cantero. Alain Cantero regularly cares for nomads in this region, and in 2001 set up a care caravan that travelled from Karakorum to Lake K\u00f6vsg\u00f6l. Y\u00f6nden lives in the South Kangai region, near Karakorum.
The young man now looks after his family. The film shows Y\u00f6nden in his family life and in his responsibilities as expedition leader of the caravan whose journey we film. We film the life of a young Mongolian whose sense of responsibility is formidable and whose joie de vivre immense. Molom had greatly contributed to our knowledge of this magnificent country. We hope that the film Y\u00f6nden will also contribute, in a more contemporary way, to getting to know this country through the portrait of a remarkable young man.<\/p>\n
