Under the skin - A journey into savagery

Robel, Germay, Filmon and Halefom have survived the Sinaï torture camps. Through their words, in the intimacy of their rooms, the film draws their long trip through barbarism, an experience that has left traces on each of the boys' skin. From Stockholm to Cairo, wherever they found shelter, every survivor experiences a nightmarish mental exile that "Under the skin / A journey into savagery" tries to retrace, carefully.

A film by Cécile Allegra and Delphine Deloget.

Followed by a discussion with Cécile Allegra and Delphine Deloget.

Amnesty International Round Table: civilians under a reign of terror

2015 has been a particularly terrible year for people who live in zones of conflict. Under international law, civilians are supposed to be protected from the ravages of war, but more than ever, this protection is cruelly lacking.

This meeting will draw up an overview of the situation based on insights and alternative practices. Round table led by Claude Guibal and including Donatella Rovera (Amnesty researcher), Ayman Oghanna (photojournalist), and Aymeric Elluin (Amnesty).

Can the jihadist Daesh organisation become a true state?

In 2015 not a week has gone by without the words “Daesh”, “Jihad”, “Islamic State” or “Terrorism” dominating the headlines. These words, which in themselves represent the world of a single network, are now applied well beyond the borders of Syria and Iraq.
Today we are confronting attacks in Tunisia, Kuwait, Egyptian Sinai; splinter groups in Afghanistan and Libya; logistics bases in tourist idylls such as the Maldives; and fighters joining from around the world, including the West. A war of religion and territory? The establishment of terror? A war of communication? Control of energy resources? A geopolitical show of strength? This evening goes beyond the propaganda and the ready-made myths reflected by the media to try to gain a better grasp of Daesh, its origins and its development.

Does the organisation have the means necessary to achieve its ambitions, and could it really become an Islamic State? What would be the effects on the local populations?

What local branches and offshoots does Daesh have around the world?

Barack Obama has declared a war aiming to destroy the jihadist organisation, but does the international community have the means to destroy Daesh without sparking off other terrorist groups?

Prepared and presented by Eric Valmir (France Inter). Participants will include Patrick Cockburn, Pierre-Jean Luizard, Jean-Pierre Perrin (Libération) and Héléne Sallon (Le Monde).

“Disparus” (“The Disappeared”)

A film by Sophie Nivelle-Cardinale and Etienne Huver

Preview screening
“Disparus” (“The Disappeared”) is an investigation into the hidden side of a war still going on. Far from the bombs and the devastated cities, the film documents a phenomenon which has been wreaking havoc among the Syrian population since 2011. More than a hundred thousand people have disappeared, possibly even more - as many as those who have died in the armed conflict, according to some witnesses. These disappearances show that the Syrian regime has set up a ruthless killing machine whose inner workings are torture, arbitrariness and cruelty. For the first time, families of those who have disappeared, survivors, and also torturers and executioners speak out about this journey into hell. Through different protagonists, political leaders, religious figures and scenes filmed on the ground, this documentary throws light on the challenges and upheavals taking place in a country which seems condemned to perpetual instability.

A debate will follow the documentary, it will be animated by Michel BEURET, with Garance Le Caisne and the film makers, Sophie Nivelle-Cardinale et Etienne Huver.

The screening will be followed by a round-table discussion including Sophie Nivelle-Cardinale and Étienne Huver.
Production: What’s Up films /Song Pham
A co-production with ARTE G.E.I.E with the participation of RTS Radio Télévision Suisse and the support of the Centre National du Cinéma et de l’Image Animée.

Reporters Memorial

Unveiling of the Stele for 2014 and the beginning of 2015

The stele at the Memorial to Reporters for 2014 and the beginning of 2015 will be officially unveiled in the presence of Christophe Deloire, General Secretary of Reporters Without Borders, and family members and friends of journalists killed in the course of the last year.

Although the number of journalists killed in the course of their work – 71 journalists and 20 netizens – fell slightly, the year 2014 saw the development of a different form of violence, involving ever greater exploitation of atrocities committed against journalists A journalist is no longer a collateral victim or an awkward witness: s/he has become an incarnation of freedom who must be eliminated, a challenge in a battle of ideologies. The killings have thus become more and more barbaric, gruesomely staged in order to gain attention and create sinister propaganda.

The ceremony this year will pay a special tribute to the 12 victims of the attack against the editorial team of Charlie Hebdo. This black day in the history of the world’s press demonstrates the extreme violence which can be meted out to those who dare to criticise - or even simply question - religion. Among the victims were five cartoonists and illustrators who were extremely popular in France, including Cabu, Wolinski and Charb.

The stele will also pay tribute to fifteen Syrian journalists, victims of the civil war which has now been raging for four years. Syria today is the most dangerous country in the world for journalists. They are systematically targeted by Bashar al-Assad’s security forces, by pro-government militias and by jihadist groups including Islamic State. Since March 2011 40 journalists have been killed while carrying out their work in Syria, 13 of them foreigners.

“We continue to mobilise every single day, in the face of murders, kidnappings, imprisonment and censorship, to help both journalists and citizens to achieve their mission of conveying the truth” says Christophe Deloire. “Resolution 2222, supported by Reporters Without Borders and adopted by the United Nations Security Council last May, demonstrates the determination of the international community to secure better protection for journalists in conflict zones. Fighting against impunity, which is too often the case when journalists are assassinated, has to be our top priority”, continued the General Secretary of the organisation.

Photographers in words

The Changing Images of War

Times change and the nature of war too.
Between the Vietnam war, covered by photographers who were incorporated into the American army with officer status, and the war in Syria, where photographers are considered to be prime targets, the status of war photographers has diminished dramatically. In the wake of the collapse of the print market, newspapers and magazines no longer commission photo reports from conflict zones, and we have to rely on the faith and audacity of a very small number of war photographers to provide us with precious accounts of events which have become almost invisible.
To better understand these changes in the profession and the nature of war photography, you are invited to meet three photographers from different generations in a debate organised by Alain Frilet of the Paroles de Photographes (Photographers in Words) organisation. We are delighted to welcome Patrick Chauvel, who has been covering international affairs for more than 40 years and whose reputation and talent shine out in every one of his stories; Alvaro Canovas, a photographer for Paris Match who has been covering international conflicts for more than 25 years, and Laurence Geai, a young photographer who has decided to pick up the baton from the older generation and has just spent several weeks in the occupied

“Eyes That Burn” (“Les Yeux brûlés”)

A young woman goes to Roissy Airport to collect a military chest which is being returned to her. It contains the personal effects and photographs of Jean Péraud, a photojournalist who was killed at Diên Biên Phu on 8 May 1954. Before long, a discussion begins between the young woman and the former journalist colleagues of Péraud who are there too. Out of the memories and stories prompted by the young woman’s presence, the ever-pertinent questions emerge: What constitutes an image of war? Is the photojournalist a witness or a participant? Is he protecting himself from the effects of war by filming it, or on the contrary, does he take even more risks in order to bear witness? Can we use the word ‘art’ about such images taken in the face of death?

With Mireille Perrier and the participation of Raoul Coutard, Marc Flament, Pierre Schoendoerffer and Raymond Depardon.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with Laurent Roth, the director.

Directed by Laurent Roth.
First released in 1986, the film has recently been digitally restored.

Mardi 6 octobre - 20h30 - Amphi Daure Grafitti Baladi Depuis la "Révolution du Nil" de janvier 2011, le graffiti, qui est après tout une voie de l'éducation populaire, s'est très fortement développé, devenant l'expression même du mécontentement, de la revendication et de la colère. Il offre une vraie narration sur fond politique. Il retrace les différents événements qui ont marqué la révolution et se dresse contre les mensonges des médias. De retour en France, les deux jeunes réalisatrices sont heureuses de pouvoir porter la voix de ceux qui ont choisi l'engagement et non la passivité, et de rendre hommage aux personnes qui ont laissé leur vie au nom de la liberté, ceux dont le visage apparait maintenant sur les murs du Caire.

Somewhere in France

Summer 1944 by John G. Morris – Contact Press Images

A photographic record of day-to-day life in the summer of 1944, during the arduous liberation of France.

John G. Morris, picture editor for Life magazine in 1944, arrived in France seven weeks after D-Day, in the middle of the Battle of Normandy. He had come to give help and support to the correspondents of his weekly magazine – figures such as the legendary Robert Capa – in producing their reports. Armed with a Rolleiflex and about fifteen rolls of black and white film, he went around capturing things he observed here and there during the summer of 1944. These were not combat photographs, and they remained at the bottom of a drawer for decades since John G. Morris did not consider himself to be a professional photographer. Robert Pledge of Contact Press Images eventually persuaded him to publish these forgotten images together with the letters John had sent to his wife in the United States during this period spent in France.

Multimedia Journalism Workshop 2015

The NOOR-Nikon Multimedia Journalism Workshop is open to young and aspiring documentary photographers and filmmakers, including those intending to work in conflict zones and photographers interested in learning how to apply their still photography skills to filmmaking and multimedia.

KEY DATES

Workshop: 7–10 October 2015
Date limite d’inscription: Sunday, 16 August 2015
Notification de sélection: Tuesday 1 September 2015

THE WORKSHOP

During the intensive three-day workshop, ten selected participants, together with NOOR photographers Sebastiàn Liste and Andrea Bruce will share experiences and expertise on how to pick up, develop, and produce stories covering conflict and human rights issues for multimedia productions. Subjects covered will include: preproduction, research, logistics, access, safety, equipment for filmmaking and sound, camera movement, lighting, audio, interviewing, filming techniques, and shooting for editing.

Drawing from their own experiences, Sebastiàn and Andrea will discuss the motivations, challenges, and possibilities of integrating still photography and video into visual storytelling methods. This workshop will be a unique opportunity to gain new knowledge and contacts in an intimate and interactive environment, while learning how to produce impactful multimedia.

THE MENTORS

Sebastiàn Liste(Spain) is a documentary photographer devoted to covering contemporary issues and profound cultural changes in Latin America and the Mediterranean regions. He specializes in long-term, in-depth projects, like “Urban Quilombo”, documenting extreme living conditions faced by dozens of families in an abandoned chocolate factory in Brazil. Through visual journalism he aims to generate dialogue and collaboration between subjects and audiences, bringing different worldviews into confrontation with each other.

Andrea Bruce (USA) is a documentary photographer who brings attention to people living in the aftermath of war. She concentrates on the social issues that are sometimes ignored and often ignited in war's wake. The past ten years she chronicled the world's most troubled areas, focusing on Iraq and Afghanistan. Andrea started working in Iraq in 2003, following the intricacies and obstacles of the conflict experienced by Iraqis and the US military. For eight years she worked as a staff photographer for The Washington Post and later as part of the VII Network (2010-2011). Her awards include top honors from the White House News Photographers Association (where she has been named Photographer of the Year four times), several awards from the International Pictures of the Year contest, and the prestigious John Faber Award from the Overseas Press Club in New York.

Organized with the generous support of Nikon France.
