Delving deep into the woodland realms, where lynxes, bears, deer, owls, capercaillies, and other river creatures roam, Munier not only seeks to pay tribute once again to the visual splendor of nature but also to capture the forest’s poetic sounds. The whispers of the woods echo the wisdom passed from Munier’s father to himself, and now to his own son. This becomes a heartfelt declaration of Munier’s love for his father, intertwining familial bonds with the untamed beauty of the natural world.

Director Bérangère McNeese’s first feature film will premiere on October 5 at the Namur International French-Language Film Festival.

Héloïse has nowhere to go. She meets Mallorie, who offers to let her stay in the flat she shares with two other young women. Héloïse finds a new home and a new family there. But their past wounds threaten the fragile balance between these women who appear so strong on the surface.

Director Hugo Becker’s short film in competition and world premiere at the 82nd Venice Film Festival.

24 December 1916. A truck carrying mail is stopped at a German checkpoint and riddled with bullets. Inside, a man lies dead. Another man and a woman, on a postal mission, claim innocence in the death of their companion and their presence in enemy territory. The radio that had been guiding them had apparently cut out, leaving them stranded in no man’s land. And so, on Christmas Eve 1916, a cross- examination begins to uncover the real reason why enemy postmen and couriers are in the trenches.

Director Arhtur Morard’s short film premiered at the 2025 Rhode Island International Film Festival.

Stuck in a city he despises, Antoine relieves his boredom by having sex with a stranger, but accidentally spills poppers in his mouth. As he tries to get rid of his partner, the latter tries to convince him to go to the emergency room and get to know him.

Cast out by his pack, a young wolf has to face his destiny alone and try to survive in a world where man reigns as absolute master. His search for a new territory, a new pack and a new family, take him from the forests of Romania to the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean.

This is the incredible story of Slava, the wolf.

This documentary, produced by Vincent Steiger, which is based on real events, makes us think about the future of the wolf but, even more, about the relationship our society has with “the wild”.

After being filmed in Brazil, the United States and France, for Arte, World War Zika by Malcolm Clark, is in post-production between Paris and London.

An adventure you just can’t miss!

The Antarctic, due to its inaccessibility, is one of the rare zones on the planet that has been preserved from human footprint, and only a few scientific scholars and explorers have adventured onto these lands where there are neither indigenous inhabitants, citizens, nor armed forces.

After his Oscar-winning documentary March of the Penguins, Luc Jacquet heads back to the colonies of emperor penguins and the lands he left behind 10 years before, this time in the company of a new and talented team. Artists in the South Pole, that’s the challenge of this new extreme expedition, focussed on this ecosystem and these fast changing landscapes. Accessing this exceptional place and understanding the challenges linked to its preservation is difficult to imagine from the comfort of our modern world.

There is also the “Antarctica” exhibition. Photographic and cinematographic artists, in particular Vincent Munier (photographer of wide open spaces and extreme traveller) and Laurent Ballesta (diver and deep see nature photographer) are going to try to reduce the 16 000 km that separate us from these grandiose blue and white lands.

As of Tuesday 26 April, at the Musée des Confluences in Lyon, you can visit the exhibition, discover the artists’ exceptional images from the heart of the Antarctic and have a very cooling experience, thanks to the exhibition’s immersive mechanism!

Dates: from 26 April to 31 December 2016
Exhibition: Antarctica
Exhibition curatorship: Luc Jacquet
Featured artists: Vincent Munier and Laurent Ballesta
Location: Musée des Confluences in Lyon – 86 quai Perrache – 69002 LYON

Associated projects: Antarctic Expedition
Antarctica, In the steps of the emperor penguin, one-off documentary 90’ and Living in the Antarctic one-off documentary 52′
Pre-purchased by Arte, the documentary In the steps of the emperor penguin will tell the story of day to day life during the expedition for the two nature photographers, Vincent Munier and Laurent Ballesta.
