In the spring of 1970, thousands of protesters descended on New Haven to demonstrate against the trial of Black Panther members for the murder of suspected FBI informant Alex Rackley. Led by radical luminaries Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, and Tom Hayden, the demonstrators converged on the New Haven Green to vent their anger and shut Yale down. Yale President Kingman Brewster commissioned a small group of Yale students to document the demonstrations, resulting in this 22-minute black-and-white film.

Oct 03, 2003
Three young women at home, the eye of the camera doesn't leave them for a moment and shows them first in a narrow kitchen, then in a small bathroom in front of a mirror, then in a bare living room where they spend part of the evening. The three are the mistress of the house and her servants, and the film is based on Les Bonnes by Genet. The servants pretend to unite to varying degrees against their mistress, and she, in turn, pretends to be a mistress who doesn't give explicit orders but who makes herself admired anyway. Each one of them plays the part that is most congenial to her.

Apostrophes

Jun 22, 1990
Magazine culturel consacré à la littérature. L'émission proposait des discussions ouvertes entre quatre ou cinq auteurs autour d’un sujet commun, mais également des entrevues individuelles avec un seul auteur. En 15 ans d’existence, Apostrophes est devenu l'émission littéraire emblématique à la télévision française de cette période, notamment grâce à la personnalité de son présentateur Bernard Pivot, la diversité et la qualité de ses intervenants, voire des polémiques qui surgirent épisodiquement lors de l'émission.
