ALL ABOUT US

Since 2002, knowledge has been TSVP's favorite territory: discovery, history, heritage, archaeology and anthropology, culture and science are our passion.

For Arte, for example, we produce anthropological collections in 4 or 5x52' format, such as Terres de femmes, on the last matriarchal societies, or Vivre, on the major stages of life in traditional societies. These documentaries are a continuation of our ethnology series Rituels du monde, 15x26'.

We also produce films on archaeology such as Grotte Chauvet, dans les pas des artistes de la préhistoire (90' prime), Empire Inca, l'histoire révélée (90' prime), and Néandertal, premier artiste de l'humanité ? (52') for Arte, which have received numerous awards worldwide, as well as documentaries for “Science grand Format” (90' prime, France 5) such as Les secrets de l'Île de Pâques and Schnidi, le fantôme du néolithique, which have also won awards at festivals, and Petra, sur la route de l'encens.

Scientific knowledge is also part of our productions: with Planète+, we produced the docu-fiction series Matière grise (3x75') on the latest discoveries in neuroscience, and more recently a film for France 5 on the risks of climate change, Quand la Seine débordera (90'). The Sexotrucs series (20x3' on Lumni), all in stop-motion, is aimed for 7-10 year olds and deals with emotional and sexual education.

We are equally passionate about history: we have made a 2x90' on Napoleon for Arte, Dans le secret des hiéroglyphes, les frères Champollion (90'), films that are regularly selected for festivals. René Carmille, un hacker sous l'occupation (Public Sénat/France 3) won the History award at FIGRA 2022. For Planète+, we told the story of the Élysée under the Fifth Republic with Les Présidents et la table (90'), Les Présidents et les voyages (90') and Les Présidents et la Télévision (90'). A mini-series on the GDR, Le Ballon de la liberté, was broadcast in the fall of 2024.

TSVP is also interested in heritage in all its forms: for more than twenty years, we have contributed to the magazine “Des Racines et des Ailes” on France 3, from Venice to the castles of the Loire, from the Egypt of the Pharaohs to Notre-Dame.

TSVP has a real penchant for culture and cinema: for Arte, after Tom Cruise, Corps et âme, we produced Banderas/Almodovar, du désir au double, Dans les yeux de Johnny Depp and then Sharon Stone, l'Instinct de survie in 2024, previewed at the Deauville American Film Festival. A series of three films on the genre in cinema and the series Trois vies de cinéma, a conversation between Bertrand Blier, Bertrand Tavernier and Patrice Leconte (3x75') were broadcast on Ciné+. We even celebrated bad films with the series Nanaroscope! (2 seasons, arte.tv). For France 5, we recently produced Le mystère du dernier Van Gogh, a film about Van Gogh's last painting.

We also produce social documentaries. In 2022, the short documentary On ne tue jamais par amour by Kevin Gay (arte.tv), about domestic violence, received the audience award at the Luchon festival. Les femmes riches ne courent pas les rues, 2x52', on wealth inequality, broadcast on Arte in 2025.

The Molia sisters have also launched into film production by creating Moteur S'il Vous Plaît (MSVP). Some fifteen feature films have been produced. Abel and Gordon's Paris Pieds Nus in 2017, and L'étoile filante in 2024. Comme des rois, by Xabi Molia, was released in 2018. Very fine awards, MSVP was associate producer of Down with the King, by Diego Ongaro, grand prize winner of the 2021 Deauville American Film Festival; and Maria by Jessica Palud e, co-production with Le Films de Mina, in official selection at the Cannes Film Festival in 2024. A first TV drama, Olympe, une femme dans la Révolution, directed by Julie Gayet and Mathieu Busson, was broadcast on France 2 in 2025.

We have also developed feature-length documentaries. Un bon début, directed by Agnès and Xabi Molia, follows a class of school dropouts in Grenoble. Distributed in cinemas by Haut et Court in 2022, Si tu es un homme by Simon Panay, tells the story of a young gold prospector in Burkina Faso (in co-production with Loull production - 2023).

Finally, TSVP produces VR experiences. For the Louvre-Lens and the Louvre, an immersive experience around Champollion's discovery of the Abu Simbel temple was produced in 2023, in co-production with Lucid Realities, followed by an experience around Fantasy, Nos Mondes fantastiques, co-produced with and for the Louvre-Lens during its exhibition devoted to fantastic animals. It was selected for Fipadoc/Smart/Biarritz immersive in January. Another experience, Monsieur Vincent, on van Gogh's palette (co-produced with Lucid Realities, the Musée d'Orsay and VIVE Arts) was shown at the Musée d'Orsay during the major Van Gogh exhibition of 2023-24. A new creation dedicated to Matisse, Danse, danse, danse, directed by Agnès Molia and Gordon, in co-production with Lucid Realities, will be presented at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris in 2025.
