Razutis and Delpeut work as explorers: they use archive materials to work on the depths of the history of cinema, and the history of the 20th century. The first, in six episodes that rediscover, analyse and transform Lumière, Méliès, the avant-garde, the artaudian horror and the Soviet assembly. The second, from the remains of films of the Antarctic, giving form to a fiction on the lost adventurers and a documentary on a time and state of cinema.
