In honor of Earth Day, le Jour de la Terre 2023, Alliance Française members in the US can watch Une fois que tu sais (Once You Know) on April 22, 2023 and attend a live interview with the director, Emmanuel Cappellin, on April 25 at 5pm ET. Mr. Cappellin will be interviewed by director Amir Soltani, an Iranian-American writer, journalist and human rights activist who has worked in business, media, nonprofits and philanthropy.
Une fois que tu sais: Confronté à la réalité du changement climatique et à l’épuisement des ressources, le réalisateur Emmanuel Cappellin prend conscience qu’un effondrement de notre civilisation industrielle est inévitable. Mais comment continuer à vivre avec l’idée que l’aventure humaine puisse échouer ? En quête de réponses, il part à la rencontre d’experts et de scientifiques tels que Pablo Servigne, Jean-Marc Jancovici ou Susanne Moser. Tous appellent à une action collective et solidaire pour préparer une transition la plus humaine possible. Une odyssée qui touche à l’intime et transforme notre regard sur nous-même et sur le monde pour mieux construire l’avenir.
Once You Know is the intimate journey of director Emmanuel Cappellin across the abyss of a world at the edge of climate-induced collapse. His voyage into this uncharted territory is that of a whole generation turning to climate scientists, local democracy, grassroots initiatives, and mass rebellion in a courageous search for an exit.
Emmanuel Cappellin is a documentary filmmaker and producer at Pulp Films. After growing up between France and the US, studying Environmental Studies at McGill University, and film at Berkeley Digital Film Institute, Emmanuel chose non-fiction to creatively explore the relationship between humans and planet Earth. His work began with Oscar-winning film animator Frédéric Back in 2006, followed by shorts, docs (To the Tar Sands – DOXA, CIFF) and private commissions (Thoughts & Reflections – China). He now shoots for television (ARTE, France3) and cinema, regularly collaborating with Yann Arthus-Bertrand for world-releases such as Climate Voices, HUMAN, or WOMAN (Venice Mostra 2015 and 2019), and has most recently been directing ONCE YOU KNOW, his first feature doc.
Amir Soltani is an Iranian-American writer, journalist and human rights activist who has worked in business, media, nonprofits and philanthropy. His graphic novel, Zahra’s Paradise, has become a global multi-media phenomenon. The story of a mother and blogger’s search for Mehdi, a student who has vanished in the aftermath of Iran’s presidential elections, Zahra’s Paradise has made publishing history as a real-time online graphic novel that appears in fifteen languages. It has been covered by dozens of news outlets including the Economist, the New York Times, Der Spiegel, BBC, Jakarta Times and others. Amir is the executive producer and co-director of DOGTOWN REDEMPTION, the Emmy-nominated story of shopping cart recyclers in West Oakland; a journey through a landscape of love and loss, devotion and addiction, prejudice and poverty. Amir studied social and intellectual history at Tufts and Harvard.
