Focus on
Nicolas Philibert

On Saturday the 25th of February, Nicolas Philibert was honored with the highest award of this year's Berlin Film Festival for his new documentary On the Adamant. Jury president Kristen Stewart emphasized the great independence in the way the film was created, as documentaries are rarely awarded at international festivals.

We congratulate and present two of his films, as well as some of the film recommendations he compiled for LaCinetek.

 

" I never decided to become a documentarist, meaning to settle once and for all within a specific niche. I also hate the word documentarist. It contributes to drawing a border around a genre that has never stopped evolving [...]. "
