Jean-Teddy Filippe

The Forbidden Files, films of Jean-Teddy Filippe, flirt with fantasy featuring pictures and voiceovers to create the illusion of a documentary about the strange events from around the world.

Based on the model of documentary fiction (alternating period films, interviews and re-enactments with actors), the film begins on September 8, 1961 with the failure of the Pont-sur-Seine attack on a road convoy carrying Charles de Gaulle, then President of the Republic, and continues with the slow preparation, the occurrence and the consequences of the Petit-Clamart attack on August 22, 1962.

A French series that became a cult sensation, in trying to treat supernatural phenomena such as ghosts and witches with a documentary style approach.
