Abstract
The spirit of research is nourished as much by the sources of reality as by the labyrinths of the imaginary. Through rapid monologues, four archaeologists give us a glimpse of the forces that drive them to delve ever deeper into the deciphering of the world. These researchers were given three minutes to speak freely about what's closest to their hearts. Thirty black-and-white photos accompany their words in still images to evoke or illustrate how these explorers of the frontiers of knowledge think and dream. Deciphering a project in the presence of the documentary filmmakers.
Jean-François Dars and Anne Papillault
Jean-François Dars and Anne Papillault have long been directors of scientific documentaries at the CNRS. They have made over a hundred films, and have also published books on science and travel. Since 2011, they have been producing the scientific web-documentaries Histoires courtes on the website http://llx.fr/, where we discover the dreams, projects and reflections of researchers, in sound and still images.
In 2016, they received the Paul Doistau-Émile Blutet prize for scientific information from the French Academy of Sciences.
