CAVANNA, HE WAS CHARLIE                
A documentary by Nina & Denis Robert
France - 2015 - French
post-production

François Cavanna was one of the two founders of Charlie Hebdo and Hara Kiri, well known as an irreverent protagonist of the satirical press and a renowned author. Aged 90, he was still writing for the now sadly world famous newspaper. He died just one year before the tragic attack of January 2015.
The films spans 2010 to 2015, featuring interviews of Cavanna, and those of Charlie Hebdo’s best satyrical journalists and illustrators such as Sine, Willem or Delfeil de Ton. With amazing and often hilarious archives, this documentary takes us through the history of  his work and what freedom of speech really means. This is the story of the first man who could say «I am Charlie»…

THE STORY OF STREET DANCE
A film by Tessa Morgan
UK, USA- 2016 - Documentary - English
Pre-Production                                  

An urban subculture, with its roots in the social dances of marginal communities in America. The Pioneers of Street Dance brought the energy and creativity of the inner city into the spotlight in the early 70s. Their performances, travels, and teachings have laud the foundations of an art form. Nos in their 50s and 60s their influence reaches accross the world. From The Bronx and South Central Los Angeles, to the slums of Manila and the favelas of Brazil. 

With the vibrancy of the music and dances, ‘The Pioneers’ tells the story of a forgotten legacy, and how it influenced the music, fashion and ideologies of pop culture today.
