"Ce documentaire de Frédéric Laffont, dernier volet de la série Fugues américaines, ne laisse qu'un regret: ne pas pouvoir s'envoler dans la minute et rejoindre Eunice, au coeur du pays cajun.” American Runaways Jury Prize at the Saulieu Festival, 1996 Libération: ‘With its sumptuous images of the Louisiana plains and the bayou, and its endearing characters, Frédéric Laffont's documentary, the last episode of the American Fugues series, leaves us with just one regret: not being able to take off in a minute and join Eunice in the heart of Cajun country’. A film by Frédéric Laffont Editing: Jean-François Giré Length: 52'34" © France 3, Interscoop, 1996 Eunice, Louisiana, Cajun country. Every Saturday for decades, Marc and Ann Savoy open the doors of their diatonic accordion shop for a jam session. Fiddlers, accordionists, guitarists, men and women, young and old, maestros and beginners: everyone communes, in French, to the rhythm of the Louisiana repertoire. We eat sausage, we drink beer or good wine, we sing... The Cajuns sing their identity.

Signée Frédéric Laffont, une immersion au cœur des quatre sites de la Bibliothèque nationale de France. Une promenade au rythme des bruissements et des chuchotements à travers les couloirs, les réserves et les rayonnages. Journey to the center of the library Télérama, TTT: "With an inspired camera, the documentary maker isolates a 15th century illumination and the face absent from the world of a reader, a drawing scribbled by Artaud on the bad paper of a rough notebook or the automated ballet of the nacelles, which transport to their recipients the requested works. With sovereign grace, Frédéric Laffont signs a dreamy evocation of this place of memory and whispers, invokes Hamlet and Gutenberg, slips into the footsteps of a regular of the place who once saved from death his knowledge of Latin gives voice to Tolstoy and Apollinaire... Libération: " We highly recommend Journey to the Center of the Library (France 5, 8:50 p.m.), poetic stroll by Frédéric Laffont through the shelves of the memory of the world, as Alain Resnais would say." A film by Frédéric Laffont Edited by Emmanuelle Pencalet Duration: 50' © Cinétévé, Interscoop, 2006 English version: JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE LIBRARY An immersion in the heart of the four sites of the National Library of France. A walk to the rhythm of rustling and whispering through the corridors and reserves and the shelves.

"Frédéric Laffont évite les commentaires. Il préfère laisser parler les images. On découvre le système et la philosophie de la chaîne CNN créée par Ted Turner. Le documentaire est remarquable, ce qu’il montre est inquiétant." Planet CNN Le Nouvel Obs: “A resounding success! Logically, after this extraordinary document, we should no longer be able to debate television in general, as we did before. By renouncing any strong judgment and banishing all commentary, Laffont in a way traps CNN's logic in its own way by letting the images speak for themselves. The existence of magnificent dissidents like Frédéric Laffont and of a refuge like Arte has never seemed so dramatically necessary to us…” Le Monde: "Frédéric Laffont avoids commentary. He prefers to let the images speak for themselves. We discover the system and the philosophy of the channel. The documentary is remarkable, what it shows is disturbing." A film by Frédéric Laffont Edited by Jean-François Giré Duration: 1h40' © La Sept Arte, Interscoop, 1997 CNN tells the world its own story. Continuous news? Among the Atlanta pioneers, the myth revisited.

Wally Schirra rêvait d’être pompier, il deviendra astronaute. En 1959, il fait partie des sept premiers astronautes américains sélectionnés par la NASA. 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 film documentaire de Frédéric Laffont pour le cinéma. Face à l’ennemi Poutine pour qui les Ukrainiens n’auraient ni identité ni culture, tous se battent. Des enfants et les grands-mères aussi. Nos proches, nos voisins. Nous, l’Ukraine. Nous, l’Europe. We, Ukraine feature documentary, 2025 A documentary film for the cinema. Three years of work since the Russian invasion of 2022. Think film's impact campaign, We Ukraine, for concrete European support for Ukrainian culture. Coming soon... To resist Putin's war, culture is also a front line. Under the relentless threat of Russian bombardment, people dance and sing in defiance of the alarms, play theatre in a bomb shelter, publish books despite paper shortages, paint street art near the front, record music, open exhibitions in a closed museum, save endangered treasures, sew endless camouflage in the cellar, and behind the scenes, constantly raise money to provide drones and survival kits for soldiers... Faced with an enemy for whom Ukrainians have neither identity nor culture, everyone is fighting. Children and grandmothers too. Our loved ones, our neighbours. We, Ukraine. We, Europe. A film by Frédéric Laffont Produced by Dominique Barneaud Editing: Barbara Bossuet Catherine Rascon Length: 1h23' © Bellota Films, Camera Magica, 2025

Rwanda. Des mois après les massacres, l’herbe a repoussé. Sur un charnier, les restes d’un écolier reposent près de son manuel de lecture resté ouvert sur un extrait du Roman de Renart : "Maudits soient les yeux qui se ferment quand ils doivent rester ouverts..." Damn closed eyes Editions JC Lattès & Arte, 1995 Co-written with Françoise Bouchet-Saulnier, doctor of law, legal officer of Doctors Without Borders. Rwanda. Months after the massacres, the grass has grown back. In a mass grave, the remains of a schoolboy lie near his reading book, which has been left open to an excerpt from The Romance of Renart: "Cursed be the eyes that close when they should remain open..." Never again! Despite this solemn promise, fifty years after the Nazi death camps, another genocide exterminates human beings for who they are. Their only "fault": being born Tutsi, just as others were born Jewish, Gypsy, or Armenian. Who will bring justice? At mass graves and in international organizations, a litany of empty promises serves as a funeral tribute. Only isolated individuals attempt to establish the facts, to write history. Among these grains of sand supposed to stop the machine of silence: Françoise, Joseph, and François-Xavier. A European lawyer, a Rwandan human rights activist, and the Kigali Public Prosecutor, they recount their quest for justice. This book is the result of a year of commitment and investigation across the world. A reflection forged through contact with the realities of the field and the people. This story resonates far beyond the thousand hills of Rwanda... So that the augury of "Never again" is no longer a lie addressed to future generations. Life: “A stone in the pond, with infinite shock waves.”

"Entre documentaire et film de cinéma, Les Mains d'Hermès est un hymne à l'artisanat bien plus qu'au luxe à la française.'' The Hands of Hermes Hearts & Craft Le Monde: "Between documentary and cinema film, The Hands of Hermès is a hymn to craftsmanship much more than to French luxury. A slow film, made of silences and glances, of ancestral gestures with, in the background, a deep and foggy France."

The breath of leather and crystal, the song of silk and metal, the words of men and women, their silences too.
