In the Quercy region of France, Marie-Paule Nadal inherits her father's old farm property. But times are hard and the land is not very profitable. Unscrupulous neighbors are looking for any means to recover these 30 hectares: marry Marie-Paule, offer her a meager profit... But Marie-Paule's heart is set on Pierre, a farmer to whom everything succeeds. But neither of them wants to abandon the land of their ancestors...

Les Etoiles de Midi is an engaging docudrama about some of the more spectacular exploits of French mountain climbers over the last several decades. In one re-enacted story, there is a wartime escape through the mountains, and in another, a daring rescue of a pair of climbers who had been missing. The actors themselves are adept at the sport of climbing, and they give the scenes an immediacy and real daring that brings the stories alive. A combination of their acrobatics and skill and the outstanding episodes in the history of French climbing creates a winning 78 minutes.

The French track and field team prepares for the world championships. A paean to sport as a shining example of human nobility, as well as an almost anthropological investigation into a most particular company of people who manage to be rivals and comrades at the same time.

Winter 1970, France. In a small village covered in snow, an outcast bonesettler starts predicting the return of wolves in the area, but nobody wants to believe his superstitious omens. Until one day, a young man is attacted by a wolf.

Jacques Cousteau's 1942 plunge into the Mediterranean sea

Fascinating underwater documentary filmed with hand-held cameras by frogmen and mostly filmed in deep-water seas from within a special designed batiscaff, by the Cousteau family of sea explorers.

The Silent World is noted as one of the first films to use underwater cinematography to show the ocean depths in color. Its title derives from Cousteau's 1953 book The Silent World: A Story of Undersea Discovery and Adventure. The film was shot aboard the ship Calypso. A team of divers shot 25 kilometers of film over two years in the Mediterranean Sea, the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, of which 2.5 kilometers were included in the finished documentary.

Oscar nominated short film from 1951
