This video has won festival prizes in Chicago and Rotterdam and has been declared Norway’s finest video for tourists by “Aftenposten”, one of Norway’s largest newspapers, witch wrote: “The reality of this region, communicated by craftsmen who know what they are going, is by itself fantastic enough. Here you will see real people – fishermen and Sami – in our best known travel destination, in magnificent, flowing scenes revealing rapturous artistic flair. Three cheers!” Life in this part of the country is totally dependent on nature. Winter storms, cold polar nights, the midnight sun and warm summer days. Communities that rebuilt themselves after being totally destroyed during World War II. You can take part in all of this and experience life at the North Cape, the northern outpost of Europe. You will find yourself watching this video time and time again…

Κατερίνα Γώγου: Για την Αποκατάσταση του Μαύρου
On May 12, 2008, Sichuan province suffered a devastating earthquake with thousands of deaths and many more injured and displaced. School buildings constructed from substandard materials, by corrupt government officials and contractors, collapsed, causing thousands of children to lose their lives. The buildings were described as tofu-dregs buildings because of the ease in which they structurally collapsed.

Hommage à Michel Legrand et Jacques Demy au festival Sœurs Jumelles
Le cinéma de Michel Legrand
The director Alain Jessua evokes his beginnings, his career and recalls with passion his experience with the greatest filmmakers.
From Quai des brumes to Goupi Mains Rouges through La Bandera or L'Assassinat du Père Noël, Robert Le Vigan was one of the mythical supporting characters of French cinema.

Sentenced to ten years in prison upon liberation, he ended his days in exile in Tandil, South America.
The crazy rise and fall of Jacques Tati, comedy genius, actor, director and athlete of laughter. Or how the inventor of the mythical Mr. Hulot made France laugh, then the world, flying from success to success, rising higher and higher, until he came a little too close to the sun.
