Boris Skossyreff, l'estafador que va ser rei

Overview

This is the little-known story of an extraordinary, highly charismatic and adventurous character, born in 1900 in Tsarist Russia. A member of the nobility, Boris Skossyreff was a Nazi collaborator, “assistant” to the Queen of the Netherlands, but above all self-proclaimed king of the Principality of Andorra in 1934, quickly chased away by the French and Spanish authorities. Involved in the great conflicts of the 20th century from which he always emerged unscathed, this enigmatic man was in reality a professional crook and forger, but also a gigolo, organizer of orgies… An unpublished documentary, based on a fascinating investigation carried out over more than a decade, in collaboration with an international team of historians and advisors.

Violette Morris, sans contrefaçon

Oct 6, 2023

Homicidal, marginal, notorious collaborator... her controversial death demonized Violette Morris, and overshadowed the life that preceded it. Yet the woman whom newspapers dubbed "our country's most intrepid sportswoman" was undeniably a pioneer. A multi-medalist sportswoman, Cocteau's inspiration and a hugely popular figure, she freed herself early on from all the limitations associated with her gender, refusing to accept the femininity imposed on her by the times, wearing a suit and short hair, accepting her homosexuality and her decision never to give birth. Rejected by both conservative society and the feminist activists of her time, she embodied a challenge to gendered binarity that disturbed everyone at the time. New research today offers a new reading of the destiny of the woman who played a key role in her contemporaries' access to sport, the wearing of pants and the right to assert themselves outside a man's shadow.
