Apprendre à tuer
2007 · 5m · Documentary
Filmed in the south of France during the summers of 2006 and 2007, this short film is enough to bear witness to a horrific spectacle witnessed by children of all ages in the arenas. Young teenagers cut their teeth on young bulls and are introduced to the practice of bullfighting in French bullfighting schools, most of which are subsidized by public funds. Beyond the atrocity of bullfighting, the film powerfully demonstrates the need to ban minors from the arenas, as is the case in Catalonia.

Hugo Pratt, trait pour trait
2016 · ★ 7
Several key words emerge from Hugo Pratt's work, inseparable from his life: travel, adventure, erudition, esotericism, mystery, poetry, melancholy... and of course, Corto Maltese, his hero and alter ego, who established him as one of the greatest names in comic books. Born in Italy in 1927 and dying in Switzerland sixty-eight years later, Hugo Pratt, born without an H and with only one T, grew up in the shadow of a fascist father who took him at a very young age to Ethiopia, which was occupied by Mussolini's forces. The teenager developed a fascination for the wide-open spaces of Africa, soon followed by an irresistible attraction to the Indian world. This was the starting point for a life of travel, success, conquests, rare failures, and marked by his veneration for the American cartoonist Milton Caniff, his absolute master.
