star 6.8You've seen him interview Mikhail Gorbachev, Angelina Jolie, Robbie Williams, Mariah Carey, Brad Pitt, Jane Fonda, Robert De Niro... You know him, but you don't really know him. Everyone has talked about Ardisson without ever getting close to the truth about him. My ambition: to reveal the man behind the costume of "The Man in Black." I thought to myself: if anyone can figure him out, it's me, a journalist and portraitist who has lived with him for 15 years. Who is the private Thierry behind the spectacular Ardisson? What we discover is how much Ardisson's personal history reflects the eras he has lived through, their contradictions, their utopias, their excesses, their violence. Like so many facets of a man and of society at the turn of the century.Black Box Diaries

2026
Washington State follows investigator David Paulides as he examines a series of unexplained disappearances in and around Mount Rainier and Olympic National Park, where hikers, climbers, and experienced outdoorsmen vanish without tracks, scent trails, or clear cause. Through interviews with families, witnesses, and search personnel the film contrasts known environmental dangers - severe weather, terrain, and hypothermia - with unsettling anomalies. Some of these include aircraft debris fields, unusual patterns in search failures, eyewitness encounters, and reported aerial phenomena dating back to the 1946 Curtis Commando crash and the dawn of the modern UFO era. As grief-stricken families search for closure and investigators compare evidence against established "profile points," the documentary challenges viewers to consider whether these cases can be explained by nature alone - or if something unknown operates within the wilderness.Hooray for Hollywood
