With a career spanning more than fifty years and just as many international hits that have rocked more than five generations, Iggy Pop is one of the greatest icons of global rock, the most punk of today's music figures, a true legend! A beast on stage, filmed at the Spandau Citadel in Berlin on June 19, 2025.

While the Austrian Mozart (1756-1791) died at the age of 35, almost the same age as Marie-Antoinette (1755-1793), Hyacinthe Jadin (1776-1800) from Versailles died at the age of 24, succumbing to tuberculosis. A piano virtuoso, he left behind numerous sonatas and three concertos, fleeting testimonies to his immense talent, which had barely blossomed, and to a magnificent pre-Romanticism. Here he is confronted with the works of his elder Mozart, united in the precocity of their works and their deaths.
The jewel of the rising generation of French keyboard players, Justin Taylor connects these works through the dazzling brilliance they still bring today, that extraordinary freshness of youth and inspiration!

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.

L’Impératrice bring a touch of French chic to their unique brand of electro with their new album Tako Tsubo delivering a host of danceable tunes to the cathedral-like space of the Grand Palais in Paris.

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.
