The Volatile Lion, France 2003. Clarisse, an apprentice fortune-teller, and Lazare, a Paris Catacombs employee, meet every day at the Place Denfert-Rochereau where the bronze Lion de Belfort stands proud.

You’ve Got Beautiful Stairs, You Know… France 1986. A brief tribute to the Cinematheque Francais, admiring the famous steps down to the darkened theatre.

The MacDonald Bridge Fiances, France 1961. A light-hearted silent comedy featuring Anna Karina and Jean-Luc Godard (without his dark glasses).

Seven Rooms, Kitchen and a Bath, France 1984. An unusual visit to a large empty apartment… The walls themselves tell the stories of time passing by.
