Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Courant started Cinématons in 1978 and has filmed over 3,000 subjects, making it the longest-running portrait film series in history — more endurance art than documentary.
Dubroux would later direct her own features including 'Le Journal de Lady M' (1993); this silent 1982 capture freezes her before her own directorial voice emerged.
