Full House for Secretos in Bayonne

Hello everybody, in this note I just really would like to thank the fantastic audience that came to meet us, my father and I, in the screenings that took place in Bayonne, last friday, and in St Jean Pied de Port, last night. The Atalante, this theatre so important to the cultural life in Bayonne, my home town, was a full house for the screening, despite the odds (as it was competing against the "little final" of rugby, France against Argentina.) It was quite moving to answer some of the questions. I know I have still to work on this, so I can manage to answer better and more at length some of the topics, but it is hard for me at times to try and remain completely neutral when what we are talking about is my father's life, and therefore also mine. But the encounter was excelent, as I believed we were able to share experiences and thoughts on the whole process both of Uruguay's recent history and the journey that was the making of the film. Many thanks to Jean François

Back From Mexico

Hello everybody, well here I am back in France, after spending 10 beautiful days attending the great DocsDf, documentary film festival of Mexico city. I am very grateful towards the French embassy which took care of my travelling fees, and even more to the fantastic organisation team, which organised the event in such a colourful and enthusiastic way. I had the opportunity to meet great documentary filmmakers such as Goran Radovanovic, Ricardo Macian, Mohammad Bennasian, Bishnu DEV HALDER, the excelent Laurel Chiten, etc etc etc. A great opportunity to talk about our craft, as documentary filmmakers, and to enjoy the experience of discovering other people's culture... And yes, Mexican food is excelent. Aaah, that Mole poblano in Don Alfonso Cafeteria... Beside the discovery of one country through its main city, food, culture and sites, I was happy to talk to the people who really lives and fights there, thank to my friend Lupita Miranda. It really opened my eye on how little did I
