Lebo, l'ombre et la lumière

Documentary

Murdered in a parking lot on Avenue Foch in March 1984 at the age of 52, Gérard Lebovici found himself at the intersection of several worlds: the media industry, artistic ambitions, and radical subversion. Was it a mafia hit, a political assassination...? The investigation never reached a conclusion. Founder of the Artmédia actors' agency, film producer and distributor, creator of the Champ libre publishing house, friend of Guy Debord, Gérard Lebovici found himself at the extreme melting point of the tensions that mark our world: money, images, celebrity, networks, revolt, radical criticism, and marginality. Tracing an unusual journey, this portrait of "Lebo" paints a picture of an era that began with the radical protests of May 1968 and ended with the cynicism of the 1990s.
