Femmes à l'Assemblée : histoire d'un combat
Le président et le dictateur
Forty years after the death of Pierre Mendès France, Yves Jeuland and Alix Maurin reveal another side to this figure: the story of his life, told through the pages of his private notebooks. PMF led a romantic and extraordinary life as a French politician and Jew, both loved and hated.
The Revenge of Bernadette Chirac
The whole world envies it; it is the symbol of a united France, a source of national pride, almost an idol! The french Social Security system is celebrating its 80th anniversary. But at a time when public accounts are showing a huge deficit and the age pyramid is reversing, its future and its financing are being called into question. How can this jewel be preserved without causing it to lose its lustre? Can the untouchable be touched ? Sacrée Sécu lifts the veil on the history, legends and taboos surrounding a model that is unique in the world.
“Being French in 2024 means being able to serve as Prime Minister while openly gay.” With these words closing his policy speech on January 30, 2024, Gabriel Attal made history. The documentary *Homos en politique: le dire ou pas?* uses this milestone — the appointment and visibility of France’s first openly gay Prime Minister — as a springboard for a broader inquiry. Journalists Jean-Baptiste Marteau and Renaud Saint-Cricq travel across France to meet LGBTQ politicians of all generations, from Paris to rural towns. Eleven years after the protests against same-sex marriage, has France really changed? Through interviews with figures like Bertrand Delanoë, Sarah El Haïry, Jean-Philippe Tanguy, Franck Riester, and others, the film explores how coming out intersects with politics, homophobia, and representation — questioning whether saying “I’m gay” in politics is still an act of courage or simply a sign of the times.

De Gaulle, l'homme à abattre
Pierre Carles questions the privatization of the leading French televisions channel : is it not scandalous that the TFI-Bouygues concession has been automatically renewed since 1987 ? Taking up the anti-television fight he initiated with "Pas vu Pas pris", his first film, he confronts the people responsible for the news who have always avoided tackling this taboo subject. But the investigation does not go as planned : the old dinosaurs and young guardians now how to handle this media critic. To find his "fighting spirit" again, Carles calls to arms his friends and changes methods : Henceforth, no more concessions !
Pétain et les francs-maçons
Following the 1974 French presidential campaign with Valéry Giscard d’Estaing.
La Révolte des vieux
La Justice sous l'Occupation
Pierre Carles, the dispenser of justice seen in “Pas vu, pas pris,” is back in the saddle. After attacking French television star reporters, his new target is television critics as represented by Daniel Schneidermann, host of the "Arrêt sur images" show. “Enfin pris ?” analyzes censure at work in television. It is also a thought-provoking look at how power changes people and the intimate forces between ambition and loyalty. A cruel, biting comedy from which no one really comes out unscathed.
Gabriel Attal, l'épreuve du pouvoir
Jeunes, Militants et Sarkozystes
Structured in two parts, the film uses the municipal newspaper, Le Journal de Béziers (later renamed Le Journal du Biterrois), to examine the city's management by Robert Ménard, elected mayor in 2014 with the support of the National Rally. By meeting with residents and activists, the film reveals the "behind the scenes" of this southern French city. It shows how this newspaper shapes a political and ideological line for a fundamentalist Catholic France, rejecting Muslims, while simultaneously seeking to control and monitor all its inhabitants. A vision of the far right in power…
