Rana Eid est sound designer et réalisatrice. Depuis près 40 ans, elle enregistre les ambiances de Beyrouth, sa ville natale. Elle enregistre donc les sons de la guerre civile (1975-1990), la reconstruction, la guerre de 2006, la révolution civile de 2019, l’explosion du port le 4 août 2020 et enfin l’effondrement actuel du Liban. Aujourd'hui, elle commente ses propres archives sonores qui racontent son pays meurtri et une ville qui retient son souffle. Marine Vlahovic (Carnets de correspondante) a rencontré Rana Eid une première fois en 2014 avant de la retrouver quelques années plus tard. Un manifeste sensible sur l’importance du son dans nos mémoires. 

Ce documentaire est lauréat de l'appel à projets 2021 du ministère de la Culture.

Le souffle de Beyrouth

This Weekend with Gordon Deal August 20, 2022

The Jiajing Emperor rounds out the back-half of his interminably long reign by hiding away in his personal palace, and only occasionally coming out to tell everyone what a terrible job they're all doing. The Mongols seize on Ming weakness to basically do whatever they want, and the Ming respond by turtling even harder and building more walls. Without an imperial guiding hand, the ministers are left to their own devices... with predictably selfish and myopic results.

Redrawing the lines: cocaine policy in Latin America

Hanging in the garage of Fire Station #6 in Livermore, California, there’s a small, pear-shaped light bulb. It is glowing right now.
This lightbulb has been glowing, with just a couple of momentary interruptions, for 113 years. You can see it glow in real time.
The bulb is a genuine heirloom from the dawn of electric illumination, built by one of its pioneers: Adolphe Chaillet.

L'humour est partout, l'humour fait vendre, pourtant le rire au lit passe souvent pour une mauvaise nouvelle. Nous sommes sérieux comme des papes. Nous avons la trouille que ce rire soit un jugement. Nous nous demandons si l'expression "femme qui rit, à moitié dans ton lit" ne recouvre pas un énorme malentendu : et si cette femme qui rit, au lieu d'entrer dans notre lit... était occupée à en sortir ?

Sex and sounds (n°27) : Rire au lit

Explorer George Kourounis finds himself growing increasingly anxious as he prepares to enter a fiery sinkhole known as the “Doorway to Hell.”

George Kourounis is a renowned global explorer and storm chaser who specializes in documenting extreme forces of nature including: tornadoes, hurricanes, volcanoes, deserts, caves, avalanches and more. He is an Explorer In Residence for The Royal Canadian Geographical Society, the Chairman of the Explorers Club Canadian Chapter, and has received several awards and medals for his efforts. He frequently finds himself driving into the eye of fierce storms, or descending ropes into actively erupting volcanic craters, often while hosting television programs including “Angry Planet” and others.  He has given four TEDx talks, and has addressed the United Nations Environmental Emergencies Forum. George’s expeditions have taken him to 65 countries on all seven continents to such far-flung places as: Madagascar, Turkmenistan, Vanuatu, Greenland, North Korea, Myanmar, and Antarctica.
