Highlights
The moving story of French-resistance women fighters deported to Auschwitz
They were mothers, daughters, members of the Resistance, communists for the most part, whose only "crime" was to have risen against the Nazis.
These 230 anonymous heroines, forgotten by history, were deported one morning in January 1943 in a convoy known as the "31000" in reference to the number tattooed on their arms. They made up the only non-Jewish French train sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau. From this journey to hell, only 49 returned.
Without women, the Internal Resistance could never have existed, yet they were quickly forgotten, history having only remembered the men's fight.
SCIENCE FICTION REVOLUTION [5x52’]
They invented a new world in the '80s
Tracking major theatrical releases and forgotten gems, this series explores the sci-fi movies of the ‘80s.
At that time, the genre experienced a real revolution with films such as “Blade Runner”, “E.T.”, “Back to the Future”, or “Terminator”. The decade proved pivotal for the many skill sets involved and an infinite source of inspiration for today’s artists and filmmakers.
The people who built these legendary worlds—storytellers, visual effects artists, set designers, and producers—tell us how they materialized their ideas in films that dazzled spectators.
BREATHE IN BREATHE OUT [10x26’]
A yoga retreat that turns into a nightmare
Sophie and Vicky are two young women who move in the same circle of friends but do not like each other. The only thing they have in common is their date of birth. For their birthday, they receive a joint gift from their friends: a "yoga healing" course in the forest. Worst of all, they have to share the same room.
The retreat takes a nightmarish turn when a participant is found dead, apparently murdered. Two policemen arrive, but one of them seems more interested in protecting the property owner's reputation than solving the crime.
Forced to stay on during what they consider to be a poorly conducted investigation, Sophie and Vicky must pool their efforts to identify the killer and save their skins before joining the list of victims.
KROOS [115’]
The heart and mind of Real Madrid
Toni Kroos is a phenomenon.
Even though he is the most successful and expensive German football player of all times, you barely notice him on the field or in public. He’s modest, introverted and reserved. Yet, he is the heart and mind of Real Madrid, the biggest football club in the world, where show and spectacle are as important as victory.
From Greifswald to Madrid, this film provides unseen images of the life of this atypical athlete and goes behind the scenes of professional football.

DIVAS [52’]
The voices or Arabic music
The "golden age" of culture in the Arab world, which lasted from the 1920s to the 1970s, saw women play a crucial role. They took over music, song, cinema, literature, the radio, and the press, and thrilled and enthralled diverse peoples, from Baghdad to Casablanca.
These women, some of whom remain giants in their own right, are symbols of a bygone era but also models and sources of inspiration for many contemporary Arab artists.
