Goodbye AIDS? (Documentary of 2010)

For the first time, a French director-journalist will join an official trip to the heart of one of the most secret regions in China: Xinjiang. Unstable and by far the most volatile province in the country, it’s a unique opportunity to visit an area that’s normally out of bounds to tourists. Located in the far northwest of the People’s Republic, on the borders of central Asia, Xinjiang is the scene of frequent clashes between the Chinese authorities and the Uyghurs, Turkish-speaking Muslims who, like their Tibetan neighbors, reject the colonization of their territory. Going beyond the Uyghur problem (which gets less media coverage than the unrest in neighbouring Tibet) the aim of this documentary is to decipher the propaganda that is currently being put out by the Chinese, who are trying to convince the world, and Chinese tour operators in particular, that the region is a haven of peace, a heaven on earth suitable for mass tourism. Thanks to reliable contacts amongst the organisers of this “Chinese tour” and the help of diasporas based in Europe and Central Asia, and

What if « too much news killed the news »: today thousands of websites and thousands of blogs immediately spread the slightest rumor whether it talks about terrorist attacks, epidemic disease, conspiracy or anti-Semitism… the worst accusations, the worst excesses are now being magnified, misquoted and distorted by the Internet and its unregulated distribution of information. In these confusing times, the opinion of a militant ends up having the same value as the opinion of an expert. We now live in a world surrounded by rumor. This film dissects the dictatorship of rumors and points out the excesses of this infernal news machine. The Internet is the ideal place to spread the rumors. International rumors are globalized thanks to the Internet, a powerful tool. If the idea of disinformation is not a new thing, there was a need for costly means before it caught on. Today thanks to the Internet, any dictatorship can convey its ideas without any cost. But most rumors can be found in the alternative press, that is to say a press which is not kept under

Today Islam becomes more radical and sometimes increasingly aggressive. Women are often the first victims of this radicalization. It constitutes a paradox for a religion which has dealt with beauty, sensuality and sexuality over centuries. This film directed by a woman from Algerian descent explores the relationship between the Prophet Mahomed and women. This film voluntarily promotes an «Enlightened Islam » that talks about love, passion and pleasure. The story of the Prophet is that of an open-minded, sensitive and tolerant man who has always loved women: a storyline very different from the Muslim hard-liners’ narrative that we too often hear today. This film will shatter every preconceived idea on Islam and the life of Prophet Mohamed.

Better production methods, consuming more responsibly, eating healthier… these challenges are a key concern for populations. With an ever-growing awareness, the mass distribution sector is undergoing a huge upheaval and innovations are emerging that advocate a more sustainable and local distribution chain. Purchasing goods is no trivial act, and we must learn to shop differently. So, how will be shopping in the future? What inventions will enable us to produce, buy or even eat differently?

How much oil is left - and what happens when the world’s most important energy source becomes harder, riskier and more expensive to extract? This compelling energy documentary investigates the global dependence on crude oil, the theory of peak oil and the environmental dangers of deep-sea drilling. Beginning with the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, it examines how technological failures, financial pressure and difficult drilling conditions contributed to one of the worst oil spills in history. Travel from oil fields in Austria and Saudi Arabia to research centres in Europe, Canadian oil sands and offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Scientists, geologists, engineers and industry experts reveal how oil is formed, how new reserves are discovered and why many of the world’s largest oil fields may be declining. The documentary also explores enhanced oil recovery, horizontal drilling, water injection, polymer technology, Arctic exploration and the enormous financial and environmental costs of extracting unconventional oil. It investigates the use of chemical dispersants during the Deepwater Horizon cleanup and questions their impact on marine ecosystems and human
