Grey Seals: A Journey of Survival
The grey seal has always been adept at hunting fast, elusive prey. As one of Europe's largest predators, the decline of fish stocks and increase in competition, as well as legal seal hunting, has changed their entire world--and their behavior. Recent improvements in annual surveys and animal tagging have revealed precious information about where grey seals go when they leave the coast and how they spend their lives. Their name traditionally conjures up images of adorable pups and clownish behavior, but this film uncovers another side to these predators.

Fanzine
Fanzine - a word that originated in the forties of the last century, means a combination of the words fan - lover and magazine - magazine. From the very beginning until today, these are amateur publications that deal with less popular, often even obscure topics. Fanzines experienced their heyday with the emergence of punk culture, but although fans of underground music were the most active creators of this form of expression, fanzines often deal with socially engaged topics, art, sports and so on. When mainstream culture does not provide enough information, or when it does not allow you to express your ideas, attitudes and interests in a way that is close to you, you can take matters into your own hands and publish everything you want in a fanzine, of which you are the creator, publisher and distributor.

700 Sharks (Gombessa 4, Genesis)
Originally, in 2014, Laurent Ballesta had just one precise objective: to unravel the mystery of groupers. To understand the issues involved in their collective reproduction. But although focused on the study of groupers, the real surprise came from the sharks. Never before had the team been confronted with such a density of grey reef sharks. The divers took up the challenge of counting them. Methodically, they repeated the operation many times to arrive at the impressive figure of 700 grey reef sharks.
Each year, the team returned to the southern pass of Fakarava in French Polynesia. Until 2019, for the fourth expedition, "Gombessa 4" is the synthesis of precise and unique scientific protocols. The mission demonstrated that shark hunts are not anarchic, but rely in part on social organization within the horde, following in the footsteps of the 700 grey sharks in "700 sharks in the night (Gombessa 4, Genesis)".

Die letzten Paradiese - Die Ökosysteme der Erde
Aloha
Tabu, a mythical tale shot in Tahiti, is yet another key to Ottinger’s cinema. Aloha is a dedication to Murnau, as well as Gauguin, Matisse and her other predecessors whose hearts and eyes had been enchanted by foreign cultures. By juxtaposing footage and outtakes from Tabu with scenes from her own films, the director creates a dialogue between fictional universes separated by time and space. A fish is caught by islanders in 1931 and eaten by pirates in Madame X forty years later. What is this film if not an ironic commentary on artistic legacy and succession?
