  • Our report «SYRIA: TRAPPED IN IDLIB» directed by Yaman Khatib, Fadi Al-Halabi et Suzanne Allant won the 1st prize in the large format TV category of the 27th Bayeux Calvados-Normandie Prize for war reporters.

    9 years after the dawn of the Syrian revolution, the rebels are making their last stand in Idlib. The region has been embroiled in heavy fighting for months.

    Prevented from fleeing by the Turkish army on one side and the Syrian government forces on the other, civilians are trying to survive in a conflict that they have nothing to do with. The Syrian army is supported by Russia and Iran. It has been relentlessly bombing this territory to reclaim it, civilians becoming an acceptable “collateral damage” in the endeavor.  The United Nations calls it “the greatest humanitarian horror story of the twenty-first century”. The number of people displaced by the fighting since December has now reached 1 million – 80 % of whom are women and children.
    These people have lost all hope that their pleas for help can ever be heard. A team of Syrian journalists went to meet them on the paths to exile.

  • Our documentary "THE MYSTERY OF THE RASCAR CAPAC MUMMY" has just received the Jules Verne Award at the Festival du Film d'Archéologie d'Amiens.

  • We are happy to announce that the newly restored MUHAMMAD ALI, THE GREATEST (1974) has been selected in the Revivals section at the 58th New York Film Festival !

    William Klein’s incomparable documentary is much more than a boxing film chronicling the fights of Sonny Liston vs Cassius Clay, Muhammad Ali vs Sonny Liston, and George Foreman vs Muhammad Ali. The director portrays the famous and infamous boxer and the world circling around him for over a decade. What Klein captures on camera in regards to race relations is powerful, exposing shameless bigotry and frightfully timely attitudes.
