La Chambre Blanche is a filmed choreographic work of Ginette Laurin, the world acclaimed choreographer and director of the dance company O’Vertigo. The film is composed in tableaus and takes place in a cold, clinical, closed space suggestive of a mental institute where the dancers are captive; being insane without knowing they are insane. Filmed to capture the oppressive architecture of the space and the inherent tension between the characters, La Chambre Blanche brings the viewer in touch with the unexpected twists and turns of the human soul.

Synopsis
Ad Libitum – "Free-Flying" with Mikhail Kazinik is a series of music documentary programs looking at the lives and works of major classical composers from Vivaldi to Shostakovich. Every episode of the program is always an extraordinary, spirited and moving tale built around the passionate narrator Mikhail Kazinik (Sweden) – a world-famous violinist and philosopher, master of the Nobel Prize Concert – embarking on a fervent quest to fit classical music into the everyday context of modern life. Music is the film’s central protagonist, it's message: life is not possible without music. The opening film of the series – ‘The Bach’s Effect’— explains why Bach’s oeuvre had been forgotten for over a century before it was rediscovered.

WITH MEASURED STEPS (Mahler's 5th Symphony)
13 Production none France Pierre henry Salfaty Sebastien Saadoun 52
|
Documentary programmes dedicated to music and dance
Synopsis
"With measured steps" is the tempo indication Mahler gives to the first movement of his 5th Symphony, a monumental funeral march. The symphonic hero is being buried. Yet, this time, the symphonic narrator – does not rebel in the least against destiny or tragedy but ineluctable reality. He faces it with noble and dignified resignation; adopting a tone which is impersonal yet emotional, leading up to the violence of the first intermezzo and the elegiac sweetness of the second. The trumpet fanfare, which defines the movement's character from the outset, must be viewed as a remote memory of the past, the time when the child Mahler listened to the trumpets of the Iglau barracks from afar, and watched military marching bands parade past his parents' home.
