ARTE, a loyal Rencontres d’Arles partner, celebrates photography from every angle on the air and on its online platform. The Franco-German channel presents two new documentaries during an evening screening to mark its thirtieth anniversary.

LEE MILLER - MANNEQUIN ET PHOTOGRAPHE DE GUERRE
Teresa Griffiths, 59 mn, 2020.
Teresa Griffiths depicts a non-conformist woman, indifferent to the shackles of machismo, but also undermined by a history of sexual abuse and a post-traumatic syndrome which, after the war, led her to alcohol and depression. We are left in awe when confronted with the artist's multiple careers and personalities, as well as speechless with admiration for the power of her photographs, which are given pride of place in the documentary.

GUY BOURDIN : CRÉATEUR D’IMAGES 
Sean Brandt, 52mn, 2022.
Coproduction Falling Skies Pty. Ltd, ZDF en collaboration avec ARTE.
Guy Bourdin is widely considered as one of the world's greatest image-makers. Famous for his suggestive, impeccable sets and surreal aesthetic, he radically broke the conventions of commercial photography with uncompromising perfectionism and sharp humor. With unprecedented access to his archives, including footage shot by Guy Bourdin himself, this film reveals the life and legacy of one of the most influential artists.
