The Many Lives of Edouard Louis
In both his private and public life, Foucault often contradicted himself, especially when his ideas collided with the institutions where he worked. Contemporary critics and philosophers reframe their legacy in an effort to build new ways of thinking about his struggle against the mechanisms of domination within society, demonstrating how the conflict lies at the heart of his life and work.

Une jeunesse amoureuse
A film-maker travels through mountain villages and along the shores of Alpine lakes to investigate the disappearance of Valérie 20 years earlier. She allegedly murdered a Canadian tourist before disappearing without a trace. At least that is how the narrator, who was passing through the region at the time, remembers the story. Over the course of the interviews, the elusive Valérie seems to disappear a second time, literally engulfed by the Alpine landscape, magnificently captured on film by François Caillat. A haunting, imposing landscape, where chasms and precipices become metaphors, characters in a work of fiction that the camera turns into a documentary. A film in the form of an essay in which the director takes his work on memory to its highest degree of abstraction.

L'état des lieux
At a time of debates on gender, identity, belonging and borders, a man has sought to overcome the strict opposition between oneself and others, to dream that we can transport ourselves, modify ourselves, transform ourselves. This is the writer Édouard Louis.
Edouard Louis, les années Amiens
The film presents Julia Kristeva during a few interviews, conducted in Paris, which allow us to discover her thinking. They accompany different sequences of her personal life: on the Ile de Ré, where she spent long periods in the company of her husband, the writer Philippe Sollers; in Bulgaria, where she returns to the footsteps of her childhood. Mixed with these sequences, other older images, often intimate, present Kristeva in her youth. These private archives are the secret continent of a busy public and intellectual life.
Julia Kristeva, étrange étrangère
Throughout the colonial period, military doctors accompanied France's colonial army. On the one hand, they served their troops, but on the other hand, they also helped the local population. They saw themselves as humanitarians who helped treat and contain epidemics. The dark side of their mission is also highlighted.
