A Short film by Christophe Bisson

Painter Bernard Legay spends his nights and days in a desinhabited world, gathering the silent matter his work is made of.

White Horse is a short documentary by filmmakers Maryann DeLeo and Christophe Bisson that features a man (Maxym Surkov) returning to his Ukraine home for the first time in twenty years. Evacuated from the city of Prypiat, Ukraine in 1986 due to the Chornobyl disaster, he has not returned since then.

Scratches. Cross-outs. Stripes. Arnaud is tirelessly attacking ancient masters' painting reproductions with the tip of his pen. His free and living interlaces highlight shapes and figures.

Total laryngectomy, a mutilation that affects the face and the voice, can be lived as a profound metamorphosis. Joël Perrotte undertook that surgery in 2007. After becoming mute, his first reaction was to retreat from the outside world, in the basement of his home. Thanks to his wife's support, he surfaced back, and found the strength to learn a new voice and become part of the society. The film tells the story of this extraordinary metamorphosis.

A series of portraits of several men scarred by life, who have chosen to withdraw from society and live on the margins of the world.
