At France’s prison officer academy, hundreds of men and women learn to become prison guards.

Ten years after the Grande-Synthe racist homicide, we trace the murderer's footsteps. The sound design weaves in a voiceover linking architecture to discourse, past the news item itself.

About roughly 130 men are imprisoned in the Detention Center of Casabianda, Corsica. Most of them were convicted of child abuse. The inmates spend their last few years of imprisonment working the fields of this wide agricultural domain.

Huge dogs, autopiano, man-eating sharks; loneliness, seduction, melancholy... The center has everything you need.

Two filmmakers go and make a documentary film on the strange island of Physiopolis, hidden behind a turn of the Seine river...

Every year since 2003, thousands of starlings have chosen the enclosed forest at the National Library of France in Paris as their roost. Every year they are chased away; every year they return.

It's been about thirty years that anthropologist Pierre-Jacques Dusseau gets objects handcrafted by inmates out of the prisons he works in as a psychologist. Rejected by ethnography museums, these creations are gathering dust in his attic. Every one of them sheds different light on carceral institution.

Upon discovering that the nature documentary she is narrating is being filmed in Paris, a voice-over narrator decides to break free.

Since 1987, the anthropologist Pierre-Jacques Dusseau, who works in prisons, has collected objects made by detainees. Refused by museums of ethnography, these everyday objects and artistic creations are gathering dust in his attic. Each one has a story that sheds a different light on penal institutions – and these stories, no one tells them better than Pierre-Jacques.

Batman and Spider-Man, James Bond and the cowboys, are patiently waiting for the vampires of the night.

"Les dragons n’existent pas is a call to the dead in a stricken land, the Ardennes. The dead are not those of the last war, but the factories that have closed down one after the other: Cellatex, the Thomé-Génot foundries, Sopal Gascogne. All fallen foul of the game of musical chairs played by international financial capitalism. Stories of strikes, machine-tool auctions, angry words, lists of grievances and industrial ruins punctuate this funeral oration, where the worker, the source of all of capitalism’s value-added, refuses to be buried in the obscurity of the Ardennes forest, the fate that befell the Roman sanctuaries in the Medieval forest."
