Christophe Coello

Through his films, Christophe Coel­lo bears wit­ness to var­i­ous sit­u­a­tions of resis­tance in South Amer­i­ca, for­got­ten or ignored by the mass media (Chili, dans l’om­bre du jaguar, Tu n’es pas mort avec toi, Mari Chi Weu, Retour en terre mapuche).

In France, he has worked with Pierre Car­les and Stéphane Goxe on a crit­i­cal project focus­ing on the issue of work. Togeth­er, they pro­duced the doc­u­men­taries Atten­tion! Dan­ger Tra­vail and Volem rien foutre al païs. The web­doc­u­men­tary Petites His­toires Pop­u­laires is an oppor­tu­ni­ty for him to share his par­tic­u­lar view of Per­pig­nan, where he grew up.

Pierre Carles

After study­ing socio-cul­tur­al ani­ma­tion and jour­nal­ism in Bor­deaux, Pierre Car­les start­ed out as a cam­era­man at France 3, then as a colum­nist on Antenne 2. He made his first doc­u­men­taries for Strip-Tease in 1994, before sign­ing Pas vu, pas pris in 1998, a fea­ture-length film on cen­sor­ship in the media. A dozen of his films have since been the­atri­cal­ly dis­trib­uted, includ­ing La soci­olo­gie est un sport de com­bat (2001) and Le Rond-point de la colère (2019). His lat­est film, Guéril­la des FARC, l’avenir a une his­toire, was released in 2024 after ten years of shooting.

Stéphane Goxe

Stéphane Goxe, born in 1969, is a direc­tor of com­mit­ted doc­u­men­taries, often in col­lab­o­ra­tion with Christophe Coel­lo.
In 1995, Accords de Guerre explored musi­cal cre­ation as a form of resis­tance among young peo­ple in Bosnia.
With Chili, dans l’om­bre du jaguar (1998), he reveals the social frac­tures hid­den behind Chile’s eco­nom­ic show­case.
In 1999, Tu n’es pas mort avec toi (You Did­n’t Die with You) gave a voice to the chil­dren of Argenti­na’s long-silenced dis­ap­peared.
In 2000, his film Mari chi weu, bears wit­ness to the strug­gle of the Mapuche Indi­ans of Chile, a peo­ple whose very exis­tence is direct­ly threat­ened by an eco­nom­ic ratio­nale that encour­ages the plun­der­ing of nat­ur­al resources in defi­ance of all human and eco­log­i­cal considerations?
