TRANSCRIPT
Instants of Cinema is a series of 22 short films that tells for the first time the encounter between the Magnum Photos Agency and the world of cinema, focusing on a single photographer and an “instant of cinema”. Through the voices of the photographers, we will discover in each episode the intimate stories hidden behind these pictures, some well-known, some never seen, retrieved from the incredibly rich Magnum archive.
With his gauche manner and his slender figure, Stewart embodies a successful life. Mitchum, with his legendary nonchalance and his hangdog look, is more like the naughty kid. When they shared top billing in the 1978 film The Big Sleep, these two actors, certainly did not suspect that they would both embark upon eternal sleep on almost the same day in 1997. What heritage have these two Hollywood legends left behind, and how did their particular qualities feed the American dream?
In 1932, Charlie Chaplin, in the middle of a professional crisis, decides to go on a trip to Bali with his brother Sydney, where he will find peace and inspiration. Further to this journey, Chaplin was able to overcome his fear of talking movies and to direct some of his greatest successes such as Modern Times (1936) and The Great Dictator (1940). Thanks to a little camera, he and his brother recorded this journey offering us for the first time a glimpse of this turning point in Chaplin’s life.
The film tells the story of the intimate and unprecedented encounter between the photojournalists of the Magnum Agency and the world of cinema. The confrontation of two seemingly opposite worlds – fiction and reality. For 70 years their paths crossed: a family of photographers, amongst them the biggest names in photography, and a family of actors and filmmakers who helped write the history of cinema, from John Huston to Marilyn Monroe to Orson Welles, Kate Winslet and Sean Penn.
Destiny of the director Jean Rouch intertwines with his abounding work : between ethnological research, surrealism, cinematic innovations and adventure stories set in Africa. The artist, born in 1917, marked the history of cinema of the second half of the 20th century. In Niamey, on the banks of the river Niger where he now lies, his travel companions and successors draw a portrait of a filmmaker who founded the ethnofiction and the cinéma vérité, capable of inventing his own life while telling the one of the others.

Full employment appears to be a symbol of a time long gone. Intelligent machines, more reliable and less costly than humans, are in the process of replacing us, while the development of algorithms contributes to the increasing work automation. The next target of this fourth industrial revolution : white collars, the core of the middle class. A jobless world? investigates this proclaimed end of “work”. The film sets off to meet with researches, businessmen and whistle-blowers in the heart of this new world facing a unique technological and social divide.
Following the success of the first season, discover three new families of autocrats or bloodstained despots’ wives, three episodes that combine love, glory, and terror. Many films have shown dictatorial regimes all over the world, but only a few films show the role played by the despot’s spouses. They accepted for the first time to open their doors and show us their new lives.
History remembers Lenin as the instigator of the October 1917 Revolution and thus as one of the men who changed the World at the time… We will however discover a completely different reality following, step by step, the incredible story of the Russian Revolution and a Lenin wildly different from the one History chose to remember.
Lining the roads of Spain, masked by miles and miles of pine trees, are unmarked graves in which over a hundred twenty thousand victims of the Franco regime are buried. Among them is Spain’s most famous poet, Federico García Lorca, who has become the symbol for both the historical memory and LGBT movements. The film explores the unexamined history of LGBT oppression during Spain’s fascism regime, and places it within the larger human rights struggle to find some justice for Franco’s victims. But how does a country excavate a past that is actively suppressed?
The film tells us the story of a humble and little known animal: the domestic donkey. This enquiry leads us to Egypt where the first donkeys where domesticated 5000 years ago. When the Romans took over, they discovered the immense qualities of this powerful animal and brought him with them in the conquest of the world. Since that time, donkey has spread all over the planet.
