Overnight, the Zenith de Paris has been transformed into an anthill. Audiences swarmed the hall’s basements, corridors and bleachers, forming the perfect playground for the master of the woods: Caribou. Electric communion, generosity, live intensity... Legend has it that a Caribou concert is more effective than a karmic cleansing or a trip to the confessional.

Canadian producer Dan Snaith brings his Caribou project to the Paris Zénith on an exploration of his entire discography, combining the big tunes of the past with sweet treats from his latest album Honey.
 
Filmed on February 3, 2025 at Zénith Paris - La Villette.
 

On one side, an electro-disco sextet with sophisticated melodies, on the other, a UFO of organic architecture overlooking the Bay of Cannes: L'Impératrice takes over the Palais Bulles for a bewitching retro-futuristic concert.
 

The group L'Impératrice and its singer Flore Benguigui could not have dreamed of a more beautiful setting to mark the release of their third album, Pulsar, on June 7: designed by Hungarian “habitologist” Antti Lovag in the 1970s, then bought by fashion designer Pierre Cardin, the Palais Bulles, whose thousand portholes overlook the Mediterranean, forms the ideal backdrop for a cosmic concert. Wandering through the villa's curvaceous spaces, this musical film unfolds the story of a day, from breakfast to bedtime under a starry sky, between everyday sketches punctuated by the group's swaying melodies and live sessions featuring classic hits (“Agitations tropicales”, “Voodoo?”, “Anomalie bleue”...) and danceable new compositions. A retro journey of joyful, refined energy.

The art market had not yet experienced its digital revolution. Until that day of 2021, when NFTs, short for Non Fungible Token, appeared on your screens. Thanks to this new transaction technology, Beeple, an almost unknown digital artist, became the third most expensive living artist in the world.

NFTs promise to revolutionize the art market. More money for artists, fewer intermediaries, and fewer barriers for collectors. Will this digital revolution be virtuous, or will it meet the same fate as many others before it, emptied of their meaning and twisted from their original goals?

Dive into the heart of 19th century bustling Paris, following the adventures and destinies of legendary artists such as Hugo, Sand, Berlioz, Balzac, etc. These intrepid young souls shook conventions with their words and brushes. This one-of-a-kind animated series reveals the deepest secrets of these romantic heroes. Their fights still resonate in today’s world.

Entirely told in traditional 2D animation, this series recounts the story of literary and artistic Paris between 1824 and 1870. The protagonists Hugo, Berlioz, Chopin, Delacroix, Courbet, Baudelaire, Balzac or Dumas… Young intrepid artists, eager to awaken society and break the rules using all means at their disposal, whether it’s paintbrushes, pens or guns. Their crossed destinies are incredibly romantic and their fights terribly relevant.

The imaginary worlds of fantasy irrigate literature, cinema, video and role-playing games. Illustrator John Howe, the concept artist of The Lord of the Rings series, takes us on a wonderful four-part journey to discover the artists who have crafted fantasy.

Over the past twenty years, our views on Fantasy have shifted tremendously. Long reduced to repetitive adventures in comic books or movies with kitschy settings and poor scenarios, Fantasy now faces higher expectations from readers and critics alike, who demand complex heroes, strong female characters, original universes, in tune with more modern issues.
From its distant origins in myths and legends to its emergence into popular culture in the second half of the 20th century, fantasy has gradually taken shape over a history spanning more than a century. From the romantic Germany of the Brothers Grimm to the Texas plains where Robert E. Howard gave birth to the character of Conan, from the socialist utopias of William Morris to the tortured and eccentric mind of HP Lovecraft, John Howe’s travels will be interspersed with animated sequences breathing life into the stories that laid the foundations of the genre. To understand what makes these works so relevant and prevalent today, John Howe will be assisted by renowned experts such as S. T. Joshi, author of a 1200-page biography of Lovecraft, and Patrice Louinet, editor and translator of Robert E. Howard.
 

Everyone knows the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings, now discover the universe of Tolkien and the legends that inspired them, with John Howe, the famous illustrator of Tolkien’s novels.

From the enchanted forest of Brocéliande to the sets of the New Zealand studios, Looking for the Hobbit plunges us into a universe we could never imagine existed. A quest to the very roots of our imagination.

This ultimate interview is the opportunity to finally understand Bruno Latour, "one of the most internationally famous, but also misunderstood French sociologist and philosopher" according to the New York Times. 

Bruno Latour had never given long interviews. At the end of October 2021, he asked Nicolas Truong, a senior reporter for Le Monde and a specialist in intellectual life, to revisit his fifty years of research. Spread out over four mornings, these interviews were intended to complete in another form, audiovisual this time, the whole of his singular and striking work. With great finesse and not without humor, Bruno Latour takes up and elaborates on the most important elements of his thought on camera.
 
“The most famous and misunderstood of French philosophers” – according to the New York Times – has been one of the most influential thinkers in the world since the 1990s. Bruno Latour has substantially influenced our time through a dozen fundamental works, translated into more than twenty languages, distinguished by the most prestigious prizes.

These nine modules will immerse us in the very heart of Japanese society, in the very heart of Tokyo, its energy, its fantasy, its contradictions. The documentary series will decipher "Japan from inside out", in a fun, odd and offbeat way.

The gachappon is the equivalent of jukebox: a vending-machine for junk surprises, a spectacular mechanics like a pinball machine and addictive like a slot machine. But instead of delivering a plastic gift, a video capsule will emerge to help us discover this distant and fascinating country by its less known side: small daily realities!
Each of the nine episodes of the documentary web series Gacha Gacha is designed in a fun discovery mode, to dissect nine typically Japanese rites. Ways of doing things that are both millennial and hypermodern, disciplined bodies and lively minds, a very modest and suddenly exhibitionist daily life. Technological and spooky materials, sounds and colors.

In each episode, an artist creates his own documentary on someone he or she admires, or talks about art or something completely different.

The artist is in the driving seat!

This documentary series tells the story of intimate and tumultuous love stories in the context of art history. With Amedao Modigliani and Jeanne Hébuterne, Lee Miller and Man Ray or Gerda Taro and Robert Capa.

Love story is an excuse to narrate the lives of artists, their neuroses and narcissism, and to confront them to their alter ego, the other, their double.
Each of the couples of this collection answers the same questions: is love compatible with creation? Can artists reveal themselves through romantic passion? Does love bring a renewed energy to Art?
