Charles Gabel, the grandfather of filmmaker Idriss Gabel, was the chaplain of Rudolf Hess, a high-ranking Nazi official, close friend, and right-hand man of Adolf Hitler. After being tried at Nuremberg and imprisoned for life in the Spandau Inter-Allied Prison, his grandfather was the only man from 1977 to 1986 who could visit him without the close supervision of the guards. Over the course of their meetings, an extraordinary friendship developed between the man of faith and the Nazi. At the heart of this unexpected relationship, this film invites reflection on the lessons that can be drawn from this sometimes unsettling glimpse into the intimacy of one of the monsters, one of the chimeras of our era.

In December 2021, journalist Diane Marois had the unique opportunity to follow French artist Dabeull, the rising star of the international Funk scene, on tour through the "Chicano" neighborhoods of Los Angeles. Celebrated and revered by this community of Latin American immigrants’ descendants, who have become the guardians of 80s Funk over time, Dabeull opens the doors to a very closed world, usually seen only in gangster movies and rap videos. Immersed in their universe, Diane introduces us to their folklore and culture inherited from the low riders, but also reveals the darker side of their daily life, caught between police violence and gang violence in Los Angeles. A breathless road movie that culminates in the "Once Upon a time in L.A." festival organised by Snoop Dogg. With the exceptional participation of legendary groups: SOS Band, Zapp and Cypress Hill. A documentary series directed by Diane Marois.

The film team immerses us in the experiences of young people during this year of lockdowns and reopenings: distance learning, the end of small jobs, returning home to parents, separation from loved ones, and shattered dreams...

Maxime Le Forestier: an icon of French music. 50 years of career and melodies that have been with us forever. "San Francisco," "My Brother," and "Pass My Way" are just a few titles that have transcended all eras. From the protest singer of the 70s to the serene artist he is today, his image and legacy have gradually taken shape. On tour between Paris and Brussels, and at home in his house in Loir-et-Cher, surrounded by his loved ones and friends, Maxime opens up about his journey, his detours, and his most beautiful encounters. A portrait greatly enriched with French and Belgian archives, photos from the singer's personal collection, and testimonials from his sons and personalities such as Daniel Auteuil, Zazie, Francis Cabrel, Vanessa Paradis, and Thomas Dutronc. As the story unfolds, there also emerges, in the background, a certain way of life that the artist has cultivated since his stay in that famous "blue house."

He was called "The Cannibal" because he seemed to devour his opponents. Belgian cycling legend Eddy Merckx won everything there was to win on a bike between 1967 and 1975: five Tours de France, five Giros, three World Championships, one Vuelta, a legendary world hour record in Mexico, and a multitude of classics. In less than a decade, he became the ultimate icon of cycling. Directors Christophe Hermans and Boris Tilquin offer a fresh perspective on the Merckx phenomenon. In this documentary, composed entirely of archival footage, the highs and lows of his career unfold naturally. But Merckx is more than just a list of victories and crashes. Rare, unseen images also paint a portrait of a remarkable era when cycling was undergoing a transformation. The film reveals the inspiring man behind the legend and tells a universal story about willpower, and how it can be harnessed to overcome the greatest challenges.

The archives of eleven programmes made for RTBF between 1977 and 2003 reveal a crucial period in the use of asbestos in Belgium and Europe. All the risks were known to the industrialists, but the workers gradually discovered them through illness and death. The 20 years preceding the ban on asbestos in Belgium in 1998 were cynically won by the industry through its propaganda, denial, and lies, as well as the passivity of public authorities and the complacency of scientific and trade union circles that it managed to rally to its cause. In 1995, the removal of asbestos from the Berlaymont, the building housing the European Commission, opened the eyes of the general public to the dangers posed by asbestos. The long battle of the victims for compensation could finally begin. In 2017, the Brussels Court of Appeal confirmed that Eternit, the former champion of asbestos cement, had known about the dangers of asbestos since at least the 1960s and had done everything to hide them. But the story does not end there. Asbestos is still used in many countries. In Europe and Belgium, although banned, it is still present everywhere in the environment, homes, and schools. Cancers sometimes emerge decades after exposure, and the peak of diseases has not yet been reached. A real ticking time bomb, asbestos continues to claim hundreds of victims annually in Belgium, thousands in Europe, and over 100,000 worldwide.

For the past decade, South Korea has been increasingly present in the field of Western classical music. This progress is particularly noticeable in international music competitions. For example, in the Queen Elisabeth Competition, over the past three years, Koreans represented a quarter of the participants in the first round. In 2010, there were five Koreans among the twelve finalists, and in 2011, for the first time in the history of this competition, a Korean, Hong Haeran, finished in first place. But over the past four years, Koreans have also won the Maria Callas Grand Prix, the Long Thibaud Crespin Competition, the Tchaikovsky Competition, and many other prestigious competitions. Why are young Koreans attracted to classical music, and where do they learn it? Why have they become so accomplished in such a short time? The film explores, in four stages, the rise of Korean musicians: training in Seoul from early musical awakening to the perfect mastery of the instrument, learning expressiveness through contact with great Western masters at the Hochschule für Musik in Munich, the spirit of competition revealed behind the scenes of the Queen Elisabeth Competition, and finally, recognition in the international music profession on the stage of the Royal Theatre de la Monnaie.
