La Dans

Given as a world premiere at the Paris Opera House in 2010, La Petite Danseuse de Degas pays tribute to the "dancers' painter"... This ballet by Patrice Bart, who worked as a Ballet master for the Opéra de Paris from 1987 to 2011, stages the young ballerina who posed for Degas's canvas and also for his sculpture The Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer, currently exhibited at the Orsay Museum.

In my home town of Arlit, in the north of the Niger, Areva has been exploiting uranium since 1976. Today, much of this area, swept by sand winds, is contaminated. Radioactivity can not be seen and the population is not aware of the risks. This exploitation completely disorganized the life of the population. Part of the year, violent sand winds completely envelop the city. This wind of dust propagates radioactive substances. Everyone is looking for shelter. The city becomes calm, all activities are stopped. My father, a retired uranium mine worker, is at the heart of this film. He will dust off his memories, the 35 years of his passage to the mine. Thanks to my father, I go to meet other former workers who certainly have a say.

What place do breasts occupy in the identity of women? Intersecting several voices--adolescent girls, mothers, lesbians, dancers, bodybuilders...--this film draws a mosaic portrait of the breast, from childhood to maturity, from seduction to illness, from motherhood to surgery, from the tyranny of the image to self-acceptance. An impressionist documentary, funny and touching, against the backdrop of the beach and holidays.

In his film 'La tête dans les nuages' ('Head in the Clouds') Jean-Marie Teno criticizes the ills of the modern world and the regression of African societies. This short documentary shows the capital of the Cameroon, Yaondé, but might equally show other African cities: heaps of rubbish lie at the edge of streets, academics are out of work, officials unpaid, corruption is the norm, and misery everywhere. For Jean-Marie Teno 'colonization, civilization, independence, then humanitarian talk are merely excuses and theatrical gestures to ensure that Africa remains the place which foreign powers can exploit with a good conscience.'
