Bernard-Henri Lévy presented Glory To The Heroes at the United Nations
In the second instalment with Bernard-Henri Lévy, the director of Glory To The Heroes, The Will To See and Slava Ukraini, all co-directed with Marc Roussel and with Gilles Hertzog as special advisor, we discussed the past informing the present and the urgent need to not drop the case for support of Ukraine by going back to show the reality of war again “without any special effects, without any Hollywoodisation, with little editing.”
Bernard-Henri Lévy: “My problem, my default probably, is that I have memory. Because I love history, I reflect about history …”
It is the summer of 2023 and the first images in Glory To The Heroes remind us of the deluge. They are from the city of Kherson in June, a town under water, because the nearby Kakhovka dam was blown up...

Bernard-Henri Lévy on a young girl in Slava Ukraini saying she read Alexandre Dumas’ The Three Musketeers and Queen Margot: “She lived in a bunker, a basement, underground. The only thing which kept her connected was a book, literature.”
Last year when I spoke with Bernard-Henri Lévy on The Will To See (Une Autre Idée Du Monde), co-directed with Marc Roussel, he moved up our scheduled time to meet so we could watch the final French presidential debate between Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen. When we met last week for a conversation on Slava Ukraini, again co-directed with Marc Roussel (produced by François Margolin with associate producer Emily Hamilton and advisor Gilles Hertzog) it was the afternoon of President Joe Biden’s early morning announcement that he will be running for re-election, and four days before Roy Wood Jr. (executive producer of Cj Hunt’s documentary The Neutral Ground...

Exclusive: France tv distribution has boarded international sales on French philosopher and writer Bernard-Henri Lévy and director-photographer Marc Roussel’s documentary Slava Ukraini and will launch the title at the EFM.
The film documents the situation in Ukraine in the final months of 2022 as Russia’s brutal invasion of the country ground on.
Arp Sélection will theatrically release the feature doc in France on February 22, just two days before the first anniversary of the beginning of the Russian invasion on February 24, 2022.
Slava Ukraini visits the conflict’s hotspots through a war diary documenting trips to Kharkiv in the frontline region of the Donbas as well as the strategic Black Sea-Dnieper River port of Kherson, in the aftermath of the city’s liberation on November 11, 2022.
It bears witness to the ravages of war through the testimonies of soldiers, chronicles of the frontline and portraits of civilians, and shares the struggle of the Ukrainian people.

“Resistance” the story of the famed mime Marcel Marceau and how he learned to mime in order to survive and to save the lives of Jewish orphans in World War II France, written and to be directed by “Hands of Stone” director Jonathan Jakubowicz and produced by Claudine Jakubowicz and Carlos Garcia de Paredes, will star the curly haired and fast talking Jesse Eisenberg who played Mark Zuckerberg in the 2010 film “The Social Network”. Baptiste Marceau, the oldest son of Marcel, has been closely involved in the research for this European coproduction that CAA is packaging and representing in Cannes. Marceau the artist of silence gave his first major performance to 3,000 American troops after the liberation of Paris in August 1944.

Films tackling Islamic extremism get limited theatrical release in France following November attacks.
A French documentary, exploring the ideology of the ultra-conservative Islamic Salafist movement in Africa, is whipping up debate in France after the pro-Sharia and Jihadi beliefs freely expressed by interviewees in the work resulted in it being given an 18-certificate, effectively halting its theatrical release.
French film-maker François Margolin and Mauritanian journalist Lemine Ould M. Salem’s joint work Salafists (Salafistes) combines images of life under Islamic law, or Sharia, in the Malian cities of Timbuktu and Gao in 2012 and interviews with Salafist ideologues and followers in Tunisia, Mali and Mauritania.
The central criticism of the film is that it gives free rein to the interviewees to express their extremist beliefs without any counterbalancing commentary or points of view.
French Minister of Culture and Communication Fleur Pellerin said her decision had been based on the fact that the film included “scenes and speeches of extreme...

Raúl Ruiz's "last movie," La noche de enfrente, played in Cannes at the Directors' Fortnight, where I saw and wrote about it. The notes below, written on the film by Ruiz and written on Ruiz by the film's producer, François Margolin, were found in the press notes for the production. I thought they were important enough to obtain permission to reprint them here. I hope you enjoy them. —Daniel Kasman
A Statement from Raoul Ruiz
My purpose is to immerse myself in the poetic world of one of the most secretive and surprising writers of Chilean literature, Hernan del Solar. He was a member of the eminent group of writers known as the "Imaginists." The "Imaginists" pushed against the grain of naturalism that reigned in the forties and fifties. They hoped to innovate with an imaginative and contemplative literature that had already been practiced by the likes of A.

Raúl Ruiz The International Film Festival Rotterdam (Iffr) will be paying tribute to Chilean filmmaker Raúl Ruiz, who died in August at age 70, with a screening of his first film, La Maleta (1963) and one of his last, Ballet Aquatique (2011), at 8 p.m. tomorrow, Jan. 31. Among those expected to reminisce about Ruiz are actor Melvil Poupaud, producer François Margolin, Australian journalist and "Ruiz expert" Adrian Martin, and former Iffr director Simon Field. Ruiz's widow, film editor Valeria Sarmiento, was invited to the Rotterdam film festival, but she had to decline because she is currently directing Lines of Wellington, which was to have been her deceased husband's next project. Much like Ruiz's Mysteries of Lisbon, the historical drama is to be released both as a feature and as a television miniseries. Set at the time of one of the various Napoleonic Wars, when French forces tried to invade Portugal, Lines of Wellington...
