"Réalisé avec subtilité et humour, Anges et démons porte sur la banlieue et les gens qui y vivent un regard juste, généreux et sans pitié." Angels and Demons of the City L’Express: "This documentary has the strange beauty of Pasolini's early films. Frédéric Laffont's film is a masterpiece that we would dream of seeing in the cinema. There are no clichés here. Frédéric Laffont proves that there's no such thing as a hackneyed subject when it comes to passion." Le Point: "The author, Frédéric Laffont, has written a scathing documentary. It's a slap in the face to good feelings and security prejudices." Le Monde : "Filmed in La Mare Rouge, a aera with a bad reputation in the northern suburbs of Le Havre, this documentary is an extraordinary chronicle of the neighbourhood. Frédéric Laffont spent two months there. He was able to gain the trust of the young people who, in return, gave him powerful testimonies. With subtlety and humour, Anges et démons takes a fair, generous and merciless look at the suburbs and the people who live there." Télérama: "There's a sense of hindsight in this frank look at successes and failures with a sensitive eye. And the film comes across as a tale of ordinary life, sincere, fair and deeply touching." Le Monde (bis) : "A film without demagoguery, poignant and beautiful, not made to inspire pity. A lesson in humility." Libération : "It could be a western or a gangster film, with rival gangs and sacred places of confrontation. Frédéric Laffont immersed himself for seven weeks in Le Havre to bring back a story where reality vies with the novel. The air of the suburbs as rarely seen... Raw, lived, and far from sad." Editing : Jean-François Giré Length: 1h31' © Interscoop, France 3, 1994 Le Havre, cités de la Mare Rouge, Auchan, angels and demons...

"C’est par la plume poétique de Frédéric Laffont que l’on découvre l’histoire d’un des personnages les plus illustres, mais certainement aussi l’un des plus discrets de la gastronomie française. L’histoire d’un homme singulier, et la vie d’un grand chef dont les mots sont si rares que l’on s’en délecte ici. " A life by the menu Editions L'Iconoclaste, 2021 Passion Literature Prize, 2022 The child was wild, the man embodies the excellence of French gastronomy. At L'Ambroisie, his three-Michelin-starred restaurant for over thirty years, Bernard Pacaud refines his legendary dishes for lunch and dinner. A truffle turnover with a good mood, a half-mourning Bresse chicken, a thin shortbread tart with bitter cocoa... Like the mushrooms he cherishes, the chef prefers shadow to light. For ten years, Frédéric Laffont has gathered his rare words and, with a chiseled style, recreates a destiny, encounters with extraordinary beings, an endless quest for perfection. A life, a century of culinary history, where we meet Mère Brazier, Jacques Lacan, Barak Obama, François Truffaut, Calamity Jane and the Absente. Libération : “An intense biography. A deeply moving account, written by Frédéric Laffont. The intense writing style of this renowned reporter and documentary filmmaker, winner of the 1987 Albert Londres Prize for his coverage of the war in Lebanon, reflects his close friendship with the chef, whom he has known for thirty years.” Le Figaro : “A remarkable biography. This book is unlike the usual culinary hagiographies; the author addresses his subject as if revealing his own story to him in order to soften the painful moments, the unknown father, the overly absent mother.” France Inter, Nicolas Demorand : “This is the biography of a modest man who shuns the limelight. His cuisine speaks for him. Obsessive work. Asceticism. Silence. A poem.” Sud Radio : « Excellent! » Politis : “An original literary form to paint the portrait of an outstanding chef. The quintessence of the culinary arts.” Télérama : “Let's taste this book!” Bottin Gourmand : "A remarkable book that stands out from everything we know about culinary literature." L’Opinion : "A book that left me breathless, which I read in one sitting, thinking on almost every page how lucky I am to know Danièle and him a little, and to love them. I believe Honoré Balzac wrote, ‘We don't like something a little or a lot. We either like it or we don't.’ I like it." Gilles Pudlowski : “An ode to Bernard Pacaud. A brilliant tribute to one of the great chefs of his time.” Gastronomie : "A favorite. Frédéric Laffont's poetic pen reveals the story of one of the most illustrious, but certainly also one of the most discreet figures in French gastronomy. The story of a singular man, and the life of a great chef whose words are so rare that we revel in them here." L’Hôtellerie : “A powerful and moving story right up to the last line.”

Le film de Frédéric Laffont se construit comme un combat : en 12 rounds ! What do boxers dream of? Grand Prix Festival de Palerme 1994 VSD: "Built like a 12-round fight, in a suburban boxing gym. A lucky knockout!" English version: WHAT DO BOXERS DREAM ABOUT? A film by Frédéric Laffont Editing: Jean-François Giré Length: 54' © France 3, Interscoop, 1993 The film is constructed like a fight: in 12 rounds!

Seul astronaute à avoir volé sur Mercury, Gemini et Apollo,. Wally Schirra raconte avec humour et passion son incroyable aventure spatiale, témoin privilégié de l’une des plus grandes épopées du XXe siècle. Captain W, astronaut Etoile SCAM 2007 ENGLISH VERSION A film by Frédéric Laffont Edited by Jean-François Giré Duration: 56' © France 3, Interscoop, City of Science and Industry, 1994 Wally Schirra dreamed of being a firefighter, but he became an astronaut. In 1959, he was one of the first seven American astronauts selected by NASA. When a journalist asked him, "Who thinks they'll come back alive from space?", he raised both hands. The first to successfully complete a space rendezvous, he amused Houston by reporting a "red UFO" that he said was Santa's sleigh in December 1965. The only astronaut to have flown on Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo, Wally Schirra recounts his incredible space adventure with humor and passion, a privileged witness to one of the greatest epics of the 20th century.

Un documentaire de Frédéric Laffont sur l'initiative de l'ONG Naandi (Inde) qui a mis au point « La méthode Araku », une approche intégrée pour agir conjointement sur l’agriculture, l’éducation et le lien social. La première boutique « Araku Coffee » a ouvert à Paris début 2017. Araku Coffee “After two days of endless travel, the end of the road feels like the end of the world, just one more... Flags with the sickle and hammer of the Maoist guerrillas fly from some of the rooftops of these villages cut off from the world and the century. of these villages cut off from the world and the century. Slow climb up the mountain to the coffee plantations. The village chief leads the way for our little party and quickly stops in front of a “magnificent” bear turd, shiny and fresh. Our paths have just crossed. The New Zealand agronomist is worried. The village chief arms himself with a stick, and we resume our our walk. Already 1500 meters and still climbing. The light camera quickly gains weight with the altitude. The forest is dense and powerful. We sometimes have to crawl under the coffee trees. I think silently that I might come face to face with the bear. I keep quiet. The agronomist expresses the same concern aloud. The village chief is reassuring, raising his derisory stick and speaking in Telugu: “Thanks to our work, the forest is coming back. The bears are back. You mustn't walk around here after 5pm. In the morning, between 5am and 9am, it's forbidden to villagers.” It's 9:20, and I hope the bear's watch is on time. A day's walk. First shots. Everything is more beautiful, more complex and rougher than I imagined. I'm received like a prince. For dinner: fatty rice and two bananas. A trickle of 4G from time to time, thanks to my Indian friends' cell phones. The Long Walk will resume tomorrow under the coffee trees, without Mao! The night is cool and I'm off to find my sleeping bag.” Frédéric English version Editing: Barbara Bossuet Length: 7' © Livelihoods Funds, Camera Magica, 2020 The Adivasi tribes of the Andra Pradesh region are among the poorest communities in India. The Indian NGO Naandi has developed “The Araku Method”, an integrated approach to joint action on agriculture, education and social ties. The Adivasi have been able to diversify their crops with 18 varieties of fruit trees to boost their food security and generate new income from the sale of surpluses. With millions of coffee trees replanted, they produce high-quality coffee using organic methods. The first “Araku Coffee” store opened in Paris in early 2017.
