Pierre Carles
Still: Guerrilla des Farc, l'avenir a une histoireBefore becoming a filmmaker Pierre CARLES (1962, France) studied social work and journalism and worked as a camera operator for a news programme. He began his career as a director making documentary short films for the Belgian television show Strip Tease (1985-2012). Carles’ first feature documentary Pas vu pas pris (1998) criticised contemporary forms of media. His second feature film Sociology is a Martial Art (2001) was the only film about French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu that portrayed him while he was still alive. During 25-year career Carles has developed an increasing interest in the history of clandestine revolutionary organisations in France and South America.
