Séance d'ouverture

The documentary film library explores French documentary production from 1978 to 2018 with the catalogue of one of the most prolific and passionate French production companies, Les Films d'Ici. They produce creative documentaries, producing art films by Luc Moullet, Claire Simon, Nicolas Philibert, and Robert Kramer, among others. This is an occasion to (re)discover forty major films that have marked the history of documentaries.

The retrospective begins with a preview of Mohamed El Khatib'sRenault 12, a fragmented account that tells of a journey of mourning dotted by the various rituals on both sides of the Mediterranean.
