My Journey Through French Cinema (2017), Bertrand Tavernier’s César-nominated three-and-a-half-hour tour through French film history, was too short to introduce audiences to all that he wanted to share. In this new eight-part series (8x55min), the acclaimed director of such films as Coup de Torchon and ‘Round Midnight guides us through a roster of filmmakers both influential and forgotten, explores how his country’s cinema was shaped by the German occupation and changed again through the New Wave, spotlights little-known female filmmakers, and more. Subjects include: René Clément, Henri-Georges Clouzot, Julien Duvivier, Henri Decoin, Claude Autant-Lara, as well as composers who made movie music an art in and of itself, far from the Hollywood spotlight.

Everyone knows heavy haulage: large parts are transported on big trucks with yellow warning lights on streets. However, all that is "peanuts" compared to our "mega transports": heavier, larger, more complicated and more unusual. These require pinpoint planning, which can only take place with special safety precautions, and for which large teams plan months in advance before things are ready.

Not all serial killers are the same – but many share twisted desires and use similarly devious methods to get their perverse kicks. Just as many serial killers have a victim type, so there are types of murderers: from the handsome charmers, who could seduce any woman in the blink of an eye but can’t be satisfied unless they kill, to the power hungry sadists for whom there’s no pleasure without pain. This is a new twist on the globally successful ‘Born To Kill?’ series. As usual, one new killer is investigated in each episode, but this series we will be delving into the extensive ‘Born To Kill?’ archive, to draw comparisons with some of the most iconic serial killers in history.

However, in just a few months, nothing would remain of this agreement apart from irreconcilable differences. United in war, the Allies would reveal themselves as divided and rivals in peace. How can such a rapid failure of a real effort at entente be explained? With the Yalta Conference in 1945 to 1953, discover a new world order drawn up by three men, looking for a lasting peace... that would lead inevitably to the Cold War. Combining archive footage, photographs, original letters and unique testimonies, these two episodes revisit this crucial period in History.
