Jean-Michel Carré
Putin: The New Empire
Unravelling the riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, that is Russia. Since Russia was brought to its knees in the 1990s by crippling debt and the grip of the oligarchs following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Vladimir Putin has made it his mission to return superpower status to Russia. Taking on the might of America and Europe he has succeeded in cementing a sphere of influence in the former Soviet Union, and extending his reach into the Middle East and Asia. While not partisan to Putin's wrongs, this insightful doc examines the logic and motivations of Putin’s vilified regime, and why he is so loved in his homeland.

Inside Tibet
For around fifteen years, no Western camera has been able to get to the heart of Tibet. In this challenging and revelatory doc, Director Jean-Michel Carré gains authorisation over several months to film the human, economic and political realities of the region – one that exists outside time, but which is still in constant evolution towards a modernity imposed by China. With contributions from residents and regional experts, the film generates a new perspective on this region, which has become, despite existing under China’s control, a nexus of global geopolitical influence.
