Evening programme

Roger Pic Award

For the 28th edition of the Roger Pic Award, the jury has devoted Sandra Reinflet for her portfolio VoiE.X, artistes sous contraintes, and given a special mention to Nicolas Boyer for Cent-huit vues sans mont Fuji.

In these two photographic works, documentary narration and staging intertwine and embrace in order to better express reality and captivate our eye. Bodies are the heart of emotion; the individual joins the universal.

Tomas van Houtryve, joint-winner of the Roger Pic Award in 2019, will animate this event by presenting his work Lines and Lineage which confronts America’s collective amnesia in regards to its Mexican past in the Far West, and by presenting the 2020 award winners’portfolios.

This event is organised in partnership with the SCAM.

WILLY RONIS, THE REPORTER AND HIS BATTLES

From the Popular Front to Belleville, to the GDR, the documentary Willy Ronis, the Reporter and his Battles is the portrait of a man who was the great photographer of the common people and a composer of everyday life pictures fused with humanism.

Through his images, famous or less familiar, and interviews, this documentary is a touching portrait of this "great photographer of the masses", a romantic idealist, it is also an immersion into the battles of the century that he went through until his disappearance in 2009, at 99 years old.

Coproduction: ARTE France, Day For Night Productions with the support from the Ile-de-France region and the Procirep
