"Frédéric Laffont brosse sans flagornerie et par touches impressionnistes les paradoxes d’Hermès. Le résultat ne ressemble en rien aux sommes habituelles et complaisantes que l’industrie du luxe imprime à tour de bras…" At 24 Faubourg Saint-Honoré Editions L'Iconoclaste, 2024 24 Faubourg-Saint-Honoré in Paris is not just the address of a well-known store worldwide. This building is the site of an enigma, that of the house of Hermès. A place inhabited by women and men as much as by spirits, where time seems to flow differently. A place with its history, its culture, its grammar and lexicon, its myths and its rites. It took a writer and a great traveler to explore this territory and restore its spirit. Europe 1, 27 oct 2024 Various translations currently being published. Vanity Fair: “A war reporter immersed at Hermès. Two years of writing. The result: a unique book, full of anecdotes. Exquisite.” Le Monde M: “Delectable. A tender tale. The author paints the paradoxes of Hermès without flattery and with impressionistic touches. The result is nothing like the usual, complacent sums that the luxury industry prints left, right and centre…” Harper's Bazaar: "While the writer is used to exploring popular cultures, his new adventure pushes open the doors of a century-old house. Two years in the land of Hermès. A book that immerses you in the grandiose Hermès adventure." Prima: “A captivating novel about a mysterious dynasty. Fascinating!” Booksellers' Pages: "A song of deeds. A moving book. The magic of this writing still works." Europe 1: “A truly great book. Eminently poetic. Frédéric Laffont dazzled us three years ago with a book about Chef Bernard Pacaud. He returns to us with a travel story in a strange land. An incredible book, brilliantly written. Masterful language. Literary and magnificent!” Librairie Lamartine: “A story steeped in rare humanity. One of the best books of the year.” The Pavilion of Literature (Belgium): “An essay that enchants, sparkles and throbs with the tribal spirit and roots of the House of Hermès, by Frédéric Laffont, the wonderful author of A Life in Detail. A song of gesture and spirit, made up of twenty-five thematic songs that takes us into the soul of the brand, through its actors…” LeA Bookstore: “Impressionist touches. A surprise! Read in one sitting.” Librairie Galignani: “This book is a marvel, a true reader’s delight! Thank you.” Booksellers' Pages: "A grand journey into what he calls 'the tribe'. A true gem."

"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.

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! A deaf-mute shoemaker, a Croatian militiaman, a European champion, a machine operator, a former Indochina veteran, a film buff... these are just some of our boxers! The setting: a legendary hall on the outskirts of Paris, dripping with the stench of sweat. Life, between knockouts and dreams, always saved by the bell.

Chili, 1988. Oscar Castro rentre au pays. Le dictateur Pinochet organise un référendum qu'il va perdre. Après des années passées en détention, après l’exil à Paris Oscar retrouve les siens, sa famille, ses amis, son théâtre. Il cherche sa mère, disparue durant les années de la dictature. We loved each other so much in Santiago Le Monde: "A painful, often joyful journey. A film full of simple humanity. Suffering. Oscar doesn't talk about it. All we hear is his father repeating that his wife, whose blood was used to draw a hammer and sickle on the wall of the abandoned hut at the bottom of the garden, "was eaten by dogs." A film by Frédéric Laffont & Pierre Barouh Editing: Jean-Pierre Bozon Length: 55' © Antenne 2, Interscoop, 1988 Chile, 1988. Oscar Castro returns home. Dictator Pinochet organizes a referendum that he loses. After years in prison, after exile in Paris, Oscar returns to his family, his friends, and his theater. He is looking for his mother, who disappeared during the years of the dictatorship.

1$ pour 1 vie raconte le combat de chercheurs, de médecins, d'industriels du médicament et d’anonymes qui ont décidé, comme la Fondation DNDi, d'unir leurs forces et de développer des médicaments contre des maladies négligées. Ce qui semblait impossible hier est devenu réalité : des traitements nouveaux arrivent aux bouts des pistes. $1 for a life FIPA 2010 Le Monde: “Exemplary! Télérama: "Dazzling photography, very well-written and involved commentary, chronicle of an attempt to change a situation made of cynicism or indifference." TéléObs "This documentary tells us an exemplary human adventure, the superb images of Frédéric Laffont retrace the story of a utopia realized." L'Humanité Dimanche: "Very well written, this film by Frédéric Laffont accurately shows the scale of the disaster" English version: $1 FOR A LIFE Edited by Emmanuelle Pencalet Duration: 1h27' © Interscoop, Cinétévé, Arte, 2010 This story brings together the richest man on the planet and the poorest among us. The challenge: saving millions of human lives. Malaria, tuberculosis, sleeping sickness, Chagas disease, visceral leishmaniasis… These diseases affect one in six people on the planet, or one billion people. How many millions of people still die from it each year? We don't know. We don't know how to count those who don't count. $1 for a Life tells the story of the struggle of researchers, doctors, pharmaceutical companies, and ordinary people who, like the DNDi Foundation, decided to join forces and develop drugs for neglected diseases. What seemed impossible yesterday has become reality: new treatments are emerging. Long neglected by the pharmaceutical industry, the poorest can have access to the best of science. For $1 a treatment…
