Serge July

Television documentary about the making of Roman Polanski's 1979 film "Tess."

Inspired by a book by Serge July, Le Dictionnaire amoureux du journalisme (A Lover's Dictionary of Journalism) is a declaration of love for freedom of the press, which underpins all other freedoms. This immersion with journalists at the heart of the stories they have covered brings to life often deeply moving investigations. Above all, it explains what a journalist is, what drives them, and what we owe them.

After having written "Pendant les affaires, les affaires continuent", Denis Robert, journalist at "Liberation" for twelve years, does it again, but this time with a film made with Philippe Harel which is an extension of his book. Subject: business and the people who deal with it, bosses, big and small, judges, lawyers, politicians and fake billers.

Apostrophes was a live, weekly, literary, prime-time, talk show on French television created and hosted by Bernard Pivot. It ran for fifteen years (724 episodes) from January 10, 1975, to June 22, 1990, and was one of the most watched shows on French television (around 6 million regular viewers). It was broadcast on Friday nights on the channel France 2 (which was called "Antenne 2" from 1975 to 1992). The hourlong show was devoted to books, authors and literature. The format varied between one-on-one interviews with a single author and open discussions between four or five authors.
