Creativity workshops 29 October 2026
Three days of workshops with people housed by the Housing division of Entraide et Solidarités, from 27 to 29 October 2026 in Tours, to explain on film the documents handed out on arrival at a shelter.
Politics of Truth and Power 27 October 2026
Feeling legitimate, or not, depends first on the place one holds within a system. I propose to think of another kind of legitimacy, one we receive from the people we work with, and which has to be remade on each new ground.
Web technologies 26 October 2026
The decisions made once and for all by the people who build and host a website then apply to every visit, on every phone, and they count for far more than the efforts asked of internet users.
Philosophy of The Digital Age and Artificial Intelligence 25 October 2026
Not all cognitive efforts enrich us. Technology, which has been part of our humanity for more than three million years, now gives us a new freedom: the freedom to choose where we put our own efforts, provided we are aware of it.
Web technologies 24 October 2026
Some basics, for associations and for any organization that has a website.
Web technologies 23 October 2026
Building a website is so enjoyable that we forget who it is meant to serve, even though the service it gives the public depends first of all on how comfortable the people who publish on it feel.
Web technologies 22 October 2026
The basics you need to choose and manage your website without being a specialist
Web technologies 21 October 2026
An association, a company, a network or an amateur theater company often entrusts its daily life to social networks. Yet the information that serves as the official reference, the organization’s history and its narratives need a long-lasting, well-built website, whose content is also collected by search engines and artificial intelligence.
Epistemology of the Real 20 October 2026
Why simplistic ideas are so convincing, and why we need a concept to name the way of thinking they lack, if we care about democracy and humanism.
Documentaries 19 October 2026
A documentary film by Benoît Labourdette (2026, 1 h 05), shot with the pupils of the École Nouvelle La Source in Meudon and produced by Sources Vives, about democracy as something children learn, from nursery school to the end of secondary school.
Supporting cultural policies 18 October 2026
With Juliette Bompoint, in October 2026 I opened a space where people can read, compare and discuss what parties and organisations are proposing for culture ahead of the 2027 French presidential election. It is a beginning, and we are making the platform available to anyone who wants to use it.
Cultural professions and Artificial Intelligence 17 October 2026
How do you talk about it in a cultural team where some people use it every day and others refuse it? A method drawn from the monitoring committee I led at the Forum des images in 2024-2025.
Training professionals 16 October 2026
On Friday 16 October 2026, at the Bpi in Paris, I led the final afternoon of the training course “Éducation du regard : images, médias, informations” (Educating the eye: images, media, information) run by Images en bibliothèques: two and a half hours in which about ten librarians and cultural mediators made a short film with artificial intelligence tools, then discussed it.
Media and Information Education (MIE) 15 October 2026
We never perceive the real directly, only through imaginaries, our own and those of our society. What does this change for media literacy? A great deal, in my view: the very definition of critical thinking, and the way we run a workshop.
Digital Participative Projects 14 October 2026
On 14 October 2026, at Erasme, in the Pôle Pixel in Villeurbanne, launch of the second digital cultural class devoted to virtual reality, which I lead for the Métropole de Lyon with Festivals Connexion and Réseau Canopé.
Image Education / Research on the Image 13 October 2026
So that the CNC’s new fund for innovation in film and media literacy education also pays for research, that is, for trials, failures and their documentation.
Collective intelligence facilitation methods 12 October 2026
Judging a workshop or a meeting by the agreement it won means rewarding whoever imposed their point of view most effectively. If we care about democracy within a group, we have to look at something else: whether disagreement and debate were able to take place, and whether everyone knows better, on the way out, what they think.
Artificial intelligence, creativity and critical thinking 11 October 2026
“We are not dealing with a magic god, but with lots of different manufacturers”: I said this to librarians on a training course, as I scrolled through the list of AI models in front of them. From it I draw a method for working in groups, which I call methodical polytheism.
Moving screenings 10 October 2026
War on Screen 2026, Châlons-en-Champagne, from the start of the school year in September to Saturday 10 October. The night-time projection walk by students from the film option at the Lycée Pierre Bayen, which I have been running since 2021, this year with the teachers Laurent Gauthier and Yann Barrière, and Laurent Gauthier’s last one.
Artificial intelligence, creativity and critical thinking 9 October 2026
Between 1985 and 1988, the director of “La Jetée” wrote, himself, in BASIC on his Apple II computers, a program to converse with his machine. Dialector, brought back to life by three people from a floppy disk, is still online. To my mind, it raises a very current question: who is speaking when a machine answers us?
Giving talks and conferences 8 October 2026
Masterclass given on 8 October 2026 at the Confluent cinema in Aiguillon, in place of Alain Bergala, to close the Rencontres Cinémas et Territoires organised by Écrans 47 and the Look Up professional days of CINA, for mediators, cinema staff and elected officials from Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
Media and Information Education (MIE) 7 October 2026
In 2005, a major mobile phone operator was funding the festival I had just created, and I saw at close range how a health concern can be made to disappear without ever lying: by commissioning enough studies for the ones that cause trouble to become a minority. Researchers have since measured the link between the funding of a study and its results, and shown that this bias occurs even when nobody cheats. I draw from this some questions for media education.
Bringing cultural rights to life 6 October 2026
On 6 October 2026, at the Métropole de Rouen, several thematic groups worked on the revision of the Fribourg Declaration on Cultural Rights. I was in the one devoted to the place of digital technology in the text, with four other people.
Trainings for image education 5 October 2026
5 October 2026, a training day for the mediation team of the Ex Voto à la Lune company, directed by Émilie-Anna Maillet, on the filmmaking workshop of the immersive journey of Le Voyage de Kristoffer, which I designed with her, one month before the first school classes of the tour.
Philosophy of artistic creation 4 October 2026
We think that being an artist means deciding. I believe instead that being an artist means holding the place of the one who opens others to creation, and answering for what makes it possible.
Audiovisual cultural animation tools 3 October 2026
When a collective film is shot in a single continuous take, no one can fix things in the edit. Under this constraint, everyone dares more, the film can be watched right after it is shot, and its quality depends on how close-knit the group is.
Audiovisual cultural animation tools 2 October 2026
Thinking from the outset about the people who will see the films without having been there changes the participants’ experience as much as the quality of the films, and it translates into very concrete instructions.
Pocket Films Workshops for professionals 1 October 2026
On 30 September and 1 October 2026, at the MUba Eugène Leroy in Tourcoing, eleven students who had just started the Master’s programme in Eco-responsible Exhibition Design and Museography spent two days making films, and each of them discovered in this way that they were able to create. In a programme where students work only on real commissions, this is how the year begins.
Collective films 30 September 2026
A collective film led par Benoît Labourdette (3’22s, 2026).
Ethics of Compromise 29 September 2026
When a political position is pushed to its logical conclusion, it can end up joining what it was fighting. It is nevertheless possible to hold strong positions while knowing where that point lies.
Audiovisual cultural animation tools 28 September 2026
In an audiovisual workshop, the title and the credits look like details. Film theory and semiology help us understand why the symbolic value of a workshop film is partly decided in those few seconds, and how to prepare them.
Audiovisual cultural animation tools 27 September 2026
A contest, a festival, a prize are worth nothing in themselves. They can serve as a pretext for forming bonds, provided one measures the harm that a ranking does to people, turns the contest to other ends when one has not chosen it, and never organises one oneself.
Audiovisual cultural animation tools 26 September 2026
We tend to think that holding a group requires a position of authority. The need for authoritarianism is a sign of fragility, and the framework it produces holds people back instead of authorizing them. For a workshop to be a genuine space of expression, the person leading it has to put themselves on the line, and so open the way.
Audiovisual cultural animation tools 25 September 2026
In a creative workshop, when you arrive somewhere with an idea in mind, you stop seeing what is around you. I suggest reversing the usual order, letting the place you are in give you ideas, and allowing little time, because time mostly gives us the chance to put up barriers.
Audiovisual cultural animation tools 24 September 2026
Preparing the room for open cut-out animation workshops
Audiovisual cultural animation tools 23 September 2026
In audiovisual workshops, sound comes last, and the films are often inaudible. Yet working on sound means working on the separation of image and sound, which is the foundation of audiovisual language, and it takes almost nothing.
Cultures of Resilience 22 September 2026
Baptiste Morizot and Laurent Neyret want to place habitability at the top of the law, alongside freedom and dignity. I believe they set it up as a precondition, when it can only come at the end of the ways of inhabiting a place, where co-resilience and cultural rights come into play.
Audiovisual cultural animation tools 14 September 2026
Putting everything a group has made online the same evening, photographs of the process included, in a space you host yourself and that everyone is free to use as they wish, helps people recognise the value of their work, provided data are treated as objects that have to be maintained, backed up and paid for over time.
Audiovisual cultural animation tools 13 September 2026
Why a group improvising without a script arrives at a coherent film, and how to lead it, take after take, to an elaborate form.
Cultural rights 12 September 2026
Territorial diagnoses, evaluations, dissertations, theses. So that the way we study a cultural situation puts into practice the cultural rights it takes as its object, and how to go about it.
Creativity workshops 11 September 2026
In 2025, with the Institut pour la photographie, the association Hors Cadre and the youth justice service of the Hauts-de-France region, I trained youth workers and ran with young people the first workshop of a photographic project on secularism and conviviality, whose results were exhibited in Roubaix and then in Lille.
Cultural rights 10 September 2026
Cultural rights call into question what our profession takes for granted, and this questioning unsettles even the people who chose to be trained. Training courses and support programmes run in their name need instituted spaces where the process itself, facilitation included, can be put up for discussion.
Philosophy of Care and the Collective 9 September 2026
Every day we share a place and a time with hundreds of people, in class, at work, on the metro, in meetings, and almost no bond comes of it. I propose a concept to name this abundance of possible bonds that nobody cultivates, and to understand what holds us back from doing so.
Audiovisual cultural animation tools 8 September 2026
By lending your voice to an object, you speak your own emotions without speaking in your own name, and you discover that you know how to tell a story, provided the person leading the workshop holds to a few rules.
Pedagogy 7 September 2026
A summary and discussion of the strategy document “Making, thinking and learning when capability is no longer scarce”, published by the TUMO Center for Creative Technologies in July 2026, on education at a time when making, thinking and learning can be delegated to machines.
Artificial intelligence, creativity and critical thinking 6 September 2026
Artificial intelligence is to thought what the air conditioner is to the body: an aid that puts us back in a condition to act. What remains is to choose its technology, its construction and its place in the shared environment, so that it does not manufacture inequalities all over again.
Culture, youth and digital 5 September 2026
Defined by the World Health Organization in 1993, the term has taken hold in youth, health and justice policies. It is used far more often than it is explained.
Screens, adolescence and psychic life 4 September 2026
Stress blocks learning, in neurological terms, and school organizes stress. This violence of adults towards pupils remains a taboo. It is not a sum of individual faults, it is systemic.
Artificial intelligence, creativity and critical thinking 3 September 2026
The lack of common sense in artificial intelligences, which Yann LeCun holds against them, is the mark of a cognition that is not ours, and it is from this difference that we have the most to receive.
Working better with young people 2 September 2026
The story of a morning on young people’s cultural practices, facilitated for the 220 staff members of the culture department of Laval, on 2 September 2026.
Defending culture differently: methods for tomorrow 1 September 2026
“We never have the time” does not describe a shortage but a dispossession. Proposals for giving people back their proper time, in the cultural field and not only there.
Cultural rights 31 August 2026
Having a right is not enough to be able to exercise it. Cultural rights find their method in institutional psychotherapy and institutional pedagogy: creating the institution with people, rather than bringing them into an institution that is already built.
Digital Heritage and Sovereignty 30 August 2026
Telling projects apart, deliberating on our tools, bringing our data home, equipping ourselves for collective intelligence: what we can do together as data centres multiply.
Philosophy of The Digital Age and Artificial Intelligence 29 August 2026
Proposing a concept, in dialogue with Freud, Benveniste, Bateson and Goody, to understand how we can sincerely hold discourses that contradict our own practices, without seeing it.
