Thierry Guetta is a French immigrant living in Los Angeles, making a comfortable living with his vintage clothing shop. He also has a strange obsession with carrying a camera everywhere he goes, constantly filming his surroundings. On a holiday in France, he discovers his cousin is Invader, an internationally known street artist. Thierry finds this fascinating, and accompanies Invader and his friends, including the artists Monsieur André and Zevs on their nocturnal adventures, documenting their activities. A few months later, Invader visits Thierry in LA, and arranges a meeting with Shepard Fairey. Thierry continues filming Fairey's activities even after Invader has returned home to France. While Fairey is confused by Thierry's enthusiasm, Thierry states that he wishes to make a complete documentary about street art, and the two cross the nation, shooting other artists at work, including Poster Boy, Seizer, Neck Face, Sweet Toof, Cyclops, Ron English, Dotmasters, Swoon, Azil, Borf and Buffmonster. What Guetta fails to tell Fairey is that he has no plan to compile his footage into an actual film, and indeed never looks at his footage.

In a Dream is a documentary about Philadelphia-based artist Isaiah Zagar that was filmed and directed by his son, Jeremiah. Isaiah is famous for his complex, highly detailed mosaics, which cover 50,000 square feet (4,600 m) of South Philly with elaborate designs made from tiles and mirror pieces. These mosaics chronicle his relationship with his wife, Julia, and make him a dominant figure in the city’s arts scene. Zagar reveals many personal details of his life during the film, including revelations about his childhood and the existence of an adulterous relationship that threatens to tear his family apart.

Un documentaire qui raconte la création de Valérian, la célèbre saga de bandes dessinées de Christin et Mézières. Avril Tembouret n’a pas fait un énième documentaire sur Valérian. Il a su remonter la piste en particulier pour les lecteurs qui n’ont pas, comme, et oui, certains vécus en direct, depuis le début l’épopée dans Pilote. Suivons Mézières en cow-boy, “appelé par les USA où il va aller voir ce qui se passe au début de l’ère spatiale” c’est déjà un début. Il y retrouve son copain, un certain Pierre Christin : “J’avais un goût immodéré des écrivains anglo-saxons. J’ai fait un voyage initiatique”. Et ils vont commencer à travailler ensemble avec un film, Ghetto, sur la ségrégation. Tembouret en montre des extraits. Mézières c’est la caméra, Christin le script. La pièce est jouée. Désormais le duo est formé. Leurs rôles sont complémentaires.

Portrecista (The Portraitist) examines the life and work of Wilhelm Brasse, who had been trained as a portrait photographer at his aunt's studio prior to World War II and passionately loved taking photographs. After his capture and imprisonment by the Nazis at Auschwitz concentration camp in 1940, at the age of 23, he was forced to take "identity pictures" of between approximately 40,000 to 50,000 other inmates between 1940 and 1945. With "courage and skill", documenting "cruelty which goes beyond all words ... for future generations", after his liberation at the end of World War II, Brasse "could not continue with his profession" and would never take another photograph.
