Nathalie Magnan

Made and presented as part of the “Gay Night” for Canal+, this 30 minutes movie is an intent to answer the question “is there a lesbian culture?”. The historical and international dimension seems therefore obvious to answer this question that sounds like an uppercut against the white heteropatriarchal mainstream culture. Series of short movies and news stories extracts (1912 to 1995), punctuated by interviews of lesbian figures over the whole world. Nathalie Magnan has created a visual shock presenting the lesbian culture in all its forms throughout the 20th century: merry appropriation and fierce repackaging of images produced by the mainstream culture.

Documentary about the strained relations that Latin America has with the United States. Halleck says at the beginning that the images of Latin America she saw in Hollywood films didn't match the reality she knew growing up in Cuba. She then uses footage of old Hollywood films, newsreels and corporate advertising films to show that, even in the early 20th century, these problematic relations between Latin America and the US were well known to Americans, even if they didn't want to recognize them.

A short documentary on gender parity in politics. In a few minutes, alternating interviews with French personalities and theorists (Geneviève Fraisse, Françoise Gaspard, Laurence Parisot) and archive footage, this film mischievously tackles gender disparities in French politics. It was produced for the Canadian international program The 5 Minutes Project.

This visionary documentary, produced for the program L’Oeil du cyclone, examines what we now call fake news—the explosion of the wildest rumors in the public sphere and the speed at which they spread virally.
