- Follows the rehearsals of 'Faits d'artifice', a choreography by Françoise and Dominique Dupuy, created with Régine Chopinot and the company Le Ballet Atlantique, as the director is aiming to catch the process of creation from the inside.
- Delivering a continuous flow of urban landscapes' digitally reworked images where passers-by are seen as anonymous silhouettes, the film offers a poetic monologue commentating on a disenchanted vision of the ghostly ballet of modern life.
- Today's young French actors channel the impetus and the energy of a "new generation" cinema. The roles they play seem to be closer to their own truth or real life, than when we see big stars who have been in the cinema for a long time now.
- "Nocturnes at the Golden Gate" - invites us to discover the world and work of Irina Ionesco, a unique figure of contemporary photography. Since the early 70's, she photographer has been working in her apartment near the Porte Dorée, in Paris, principally with the female body. Scraps from the past and elements of the present come together to evoke the coherence and multiple meanings of Irina's baroque universe : the solitude of her Romanian childhood ; her youthful debut in the music hall ; her relationships with her models and her way of building images. Little by little, her work is illuminated and takes on different vibrations, though we have never left the apartment : her workspace, temple and museum.
- A collection of eight portraits of French or Belgian personalities of national or international renown from the cultural, artistic, scientific or political field, to uncover through these people the link to the world that connects us all.

- Death Must Be Earned is the intimate portrait of Serge Livrozet, former safe-cracker, one of the protagonists of 1970s French counter-culture, alongside Michel Foucault founder of the Committee of Prisoner's Action, self-taught writer and anarchist activist.

- A man is sitting at a table. He reads a text aloud. This text, taken from the first four letters of Pierre Martyr d'Anghiera's "La Décade Océane", relates the early days of the discovery and conquest of the New World by the Spanish under the leadership of a certain Christopher Columbus.

- All of them have street jobs: they wash cars, sell fruit or medicine, sand from a canoe, make cooking pots, crack stones, or hunt snakes, etc. On the African continent, informal economy has become the first source of income for the city-dwellers (two thirds of them survive like this). In the streets, all kinds of trade can take place; sidewalks and carriageway pavements constitute the perfect premises for the flowering of all kind of human resources.
- Françoise, Yves, René, and others were children when they had to quickly leave St-Nazaire during the Second World War. 70 years later, they share the memories of their experiences far from their families and the aftereffects of separation.
- A series which analyzes the changes and evolution of the urban space in the big cities.
- This film is a journey into the complex world of misunderstandings between sociocultural actors, parents, and children in the Southern Suburban Quartier of Villeneuve (the former 1968 Olympic Village) in Grenoble, France. The difficulty in giving meaning, in agreeing on an action, slows down the setting up of projects, wears out the good humor of all concerned. A careful approach in a sensitive area where preconceived ideas proliferate, little everyday nothings that change everything.
- Follows everyday life impressions in a 4-part mini-series divided into very short episodes playing like snapshots of the human gaze, and elusive moments, which, if we stop there for an average shot length, reveal all their depth.
- Thirty years after May 1968, a man offers a look back at these events, the ideas of the time and the noble combat which, today, still appears to him like a necessity. Today, his look at the past has not changed and his opinions do not seem to have evolved even though he recognizes he has made a concession as he is working for the government as a civil servant. In parallel to this man's thoughts, another person, as a voice-over, expresses her bitterness and her disillusion: is society condemned to evolve complacently in this system? Is this evil, the evil of resignation? The film seems to give us the answer as it shows us the possibility of an alternative to resignation: being faithful to one's dreams.
- A documentary film about social telephony: on each end of the line, two nameless individuals, two anonymous people are having a conversation that tries to combine demands and answers. The caller, the listener. Two voices.
- A musical road trip from Baghdad, Iraq, to Seville, Spain, with Iraqi musician Naseer Shamma. He is seen performing the oud, a short-neck lute-type, pear-shaped instrument, and is recounting for the viewer the story of this oriental lute.
- From February to November 2007, director Henry Colomer followed and filmed the work of French artist and photographer Jean-Michel Fauquet in the privacy of his studio in Paris, and is now releasing this intimate portrait.
- One year, 12 months, 12 filmmakers who are filming Paris in an unusual way: "their" Paris before a symbolic date, the night of 12/31/99 to 01/01/00. They are turning one by one the pages of their own Parisian calendar of the year 1999.
- What do stones tell us when we look at them? I look, I see, I listen; Rue de Navarin, at the corner of Rue du Rocher and Rue de Rome, Rue Marie-Rose; from one side to the other, the echoes of my familiar ghosts and others. Like the pebbles of Tom Thumb, I follow the road of square stones; on the facades of the Paris buildings, the commemorative plaques attract me, pull me towards the country, the town of former times, they speak to me of succeeding ages. There are 2,000 plaques in Paris. First of all plaques were put up for great men, great politicians, great writers, great poets, great musicians, great soldiers: the Republic was making for itself a genealogy that was worthy of it. Here lived, here died, here lived, here died. Then it was great heroes, little heroes and anonymous heroes of wartime: they did not live, above all they died. I set off in search of these stories, in a ghostly Paris where, from plaque to plaque, the fragile, barely visible traces of forgotten lives unfold.
- Follows Pascale and Thierry, a couple of French truck drivers sharing their common passion for trucks. They are married but their everyday life is subject to difficulties related to their job which they seem to love above all.
- It will be amazing to witness a child's upbringing. It will be painful to feel the loved one going away. Everything will be done in order to keep happiness. It will be a challenge, and it will require deep changes. A stunning personal journey, straight to the heart.
- A lonely man in the anonymous crowd recalls his difficulty to strive in the wake of the most dire hours of contemporary history. The shadowy memory of the Shoah hardens the daily life where one seeks, desperately, a lightness forever lost.
- Months after the "Prestige shipwreck", a team of 30 volunteers left Toulouse to clean up the coast of Camariñas in Galicia. All day long, the camera followed their painstakingly patient and seemingly derisory gestures, picking up on the varying intensity of each day, revealing how a growing fraternity among them came to constitute a form of resistance against such a disaster. Our civilization devastates the planet on a big scale that some attempt to repair the damages with a spatula. I seek to share the striking contrast by exploring the issues of a space reduced to a beach of black stones.
- Gilles is a man who has been living on the streets for 20 years. He has always been homeless and he has learned to survive and cope like so many others, but his personal story leads us to his passion: trains. His grandfather was a railwayman and, since his childhood, he has had a rather particular relationship with the railway world. Evoking the memory of his grandfather and his past takes us on a return to the places of his childhood: a journey into his memory; but today, things have changed.
