Land of Men

Denis Villeneuve created this film during his participation in the third season of La Course Destination Monde, a show broadcast on Radio-Canada in which contestants travelled to different regions of the world to make short films about their journeys. During the penultimate program broadcast on March 25, 1991, the young filmmaker presented Terra Des Hommes as his closing film. Shot in Tibet, the short introduces us to a community that lives among Yaks, large ruminant mammals. Chantal Jolis, a judge of the competition, said of the film: "What I felt there was a farewell to something essential, at the same time as a testament to the race." Villeneuve ulitmately won that year's edition of La Course Destination Monde. Notably, the film features the track "Trip to Arrakis" by TOTO, composed for David Lynch's 1984 adaptation of Frank Herbert's DUNE.

Les Trésors de la Bibliothèque nationale de France
DocumentaryTV Movie
The National Library of France is the guardian of priceless treasures that tell our history, our illustrious thinkers, writers, scholars and artists. Telling the story of the exceptional treasures of the National Library of France is like opening a great history book rich in many twists and turns. Without the love of the kings of France for books and precious objects, this institution would never have seen the light of day. The story begins in the 14th century under the reign of a passionate writer, Charles V, who set up a library in his apartments in the Louvre. But it was not until the 17th century, and the reign of Louis XIV, a lover of the arts and letters, that the royal library took over its historic quarters in the rue Vivienne in Paris, which it still occupies.
