Grandeur et brièveté de la Défense

About - Grandeur et brièveté de la Défense

To the west of Paris, the La Défense district bursts onto the skyline like a fortress bristling with office towers.
Today, it is an economic colossus: the leading European business district. What is less well known is that it is a place of architectural experimentation, an urban utopia that has hosted exceptional projects since its inception.
La Défense has just celebrated its fiftieth anniversary.
And it is the age of an essential rejuvenation with the renovation of existing towers and especially the construction of megalomaniac skyscrapers that will supplant the Eiffel Tower in the Parisian sky.
It is the end of the taboo of height and, perhaps, the signal of a new impetus for the Parisian agglomeration.

Frédéric Biamonti

Frédéric Biamonti was born in 1964. He first studied at the Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Paris (Sciences-Po), before turning to cinema. He continued his studies at the FEMIS national film school, and then got involved in film and documentary production, working in particular as an assistant director for documentary productions for Public Television (France Télévisions). He also collaborated on fiction films by Arnaud and Jean Marie Larrieu, Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau, Bruno Bontzolakis and Frédéric Videau.
From 1990, he lived between Paris and the United States, first in New York where he studied photography at the International Center of Photography, then in Chicago where he taught in the Cinema and Video Department of the School of the Art Institute. In Paris, he also teaches in the Cinema Department of the University of Paris 8.
Since 2000, he has made his own documentary films, working first on American subjects: Huntsville, the penal colony (2001), Sun City, the antechamber of paradise (2003), The lessons of Watergate (2004). Films on urban planning and architecture followed one after the other, starting with L’île Seguin, from Renault to Pinault in 2002. Since Destin des Halles (2005), he has regularly collaborated on these subjects with the architect and critic Françoise Fromonot.
History is a recurring preoccupation in his work, as evidenced by the biographical films devoted to the politician Jean Lecanuet (2005) or the pamphleteer writer Jean-Edern Hallier (2006), or more recently to the historian Arlette Farge (2009).
