Eines Tages blieb alles plötzlich stehen.
Mein Unternehmen war weg,
und mit ihm meine Orientierung.
Ich dachte, ich hätte alles verloren —
ich wusste noch nicht,
dass ein stilles System
über mich wachte,
hier, in Paris.
Es sind keine sichtbaren Helden,
sondern Strukturen, Hilfen,
Unbekannte, die ich vielleicht nie treffen werde.
Ohne Lärm haben Paris und Frankreich
meinen völligen Sturz verhindert
und mich wieder aufgerichtet.
Fiebernd, allein,
zehntausend Kilometer von meiner Heimatstadt entfernt,
von Covid ans Bett gefesselt,
spule ich den Film meines Lebens zurück:
Jahre des Reisens in Europa,
ein paar flüchtige Erfolge…
Und dann, von einem Tag auf den anderen: nichts.
In dieser Stille
verstehe ich:
Paris hat mich nie verlassen.
Ich habe es versprochen:
Wenn ich gesund werde, werde ich in Paris nützlich sein.
Der französische Staat hat meine Ausbildungen finanziert.
Diese ausgestreckte Hand hat nicht nur
meinen Alltag verändert:
sie hat ermöglicht,
dass ein einzigartiges brüderliches Projekt entsteht: « Paris T’Aime ».
Die Abschlüsse wurden
zu Teilen des Schiffes:
Um Paris zu danken,
habe ich meine Pilgerreise der Freundlichkeit begonnen.
Kamera in der Hand,
sammle ich unsichtbare Gesten der Güte,
Lächeln,
die gefilmten Beweise der Brüderlichkeit,
Straße für Straße.
Dort habe ich
manche der schönsten Bilder
des Menschen entdeckt.
Nach und nach haben sich diese Bilder
zu einem lebendigen Ökosystem zusammengefügt.
Ein menschliches und soziales Kino,
um 240 Jahre Fraternité zu feiern,
mit nur einem Namen: « Paris T’Aime ».
In Paris 8
finde ich den Motor des Schiffes:
das nützliche und dynamische Kino.
Dort verstehe ich, dass diese Bilder
nicht nur ein Film sind,
sondern ein lebendiges System.
Ich hinterlege die Marke PARIS T’AIME,
um dieses brüderliche Projekt
zu ehren und zu schützen.
Am letzten Tag
der offiziellen Veröffentlichung der Marke PARIS T’AIME
fallen zwei Widersprüche vom Himmel.
Auf der einen Seite filme ich weiter
ignorierte Beweise der Brüderlichkeit.
Auf der anderen Seite wird
mein Recht angefochten,
diesen Namen für ein soziales Projekt zu verwenden.
Ein juristischer Kampf beginnt,
aber die Kamera —
sie hält nicht an.
Zwischen 2026 und 2029,
auf den Straßen von Paris,
wird jeder Dreh
zu einer Liebesprüfung.
Händler, Passanten, Bewohner,
Reisende auf der Durchreise:
Jeder hinterlässt eine Spur der Brüderlichkeit.
Auf paristaime.com
entdeckt die Welt ein anderes Paris,
diskret und brüderlich.
Und eine Frage kehrt zurück,
wie ein Refrain:
« Liebt Paris dich? »
Hier beginnt die wahre Geschichte.
Von 2019 bis 2029
spielt sich eine moderne Fabel
auf den Straßen von Paris ab,
um zu beweisen, dass Brüderlichkeit immer existiert —
und dass Paris 240 Jahre nach 1789
die Welthauptstadt der Brüderlichkeit bleibt.
Aber 2029 ist kein Ende.
Es ist eine Staffelübergabe.
Nach diesem Datum
bleiben die Bilder, die gefilmten Beweise
und das Ökosystem Paris T’Aime lebendig,
damit andere weitermachen
und die Brüderlichkeit wachsen lassen.
Mit der Kamera in der Hand sammle ich unsichtbare Gesten der Güte in den Straßen von Paris.
Dort, wo wir Erlebnisse, Visionen und Hoffnung teilen — um gemeinsam etwas Gutes für morgen zu schaffen.
Hôpitaux, transports, écoles, culture, propreté, secours, services sociaux… Paris a mis en place des milliers de dispositifs pour que la ville tienne debout, chaque jour.
Les femmes et les hommes qui y travaillent sont rémunérés, mais la manière dont ils accueillent, renseignent ou protègent reste un choix humain. Paris T’Aime veut aussi leur dire merci.
Parce qu’à Paris, se déplacer et s’orienter change la vie.
Entre entraide, services publics et gestes simples — des chemins se rouvrent.
Quelques repères filmés, à hauteur d’humain.
Avant Paris 8, la méthode vivait déjà dans la rue.
À Paris 8, en étudiant les grands, je l’ai confirmée et nommée : cinéma utile et dynamique.
Le film continue dans la vraie vie — c’est son enjeu.
Wenn ein Bild jemandem dient, wird es zum Beweis der Menschlichkeit: jedes Lächeln, jede ausgestreckte Hand gehört zum selben lebenden Film.
Menschen ändern sich, Orte ändern sich; die Brüderlichkeit bleibt. Ein und dieselbe Handlung kann von anderen wieder aufgenommen werden, immer in Bewegung.
« Diese gefilmten Gesten enden nicht auf der Leinwand. Sie gehen weiter, von Hand zu Hand. So entstand ein geteiltes Licht: das Ökosystem Paris T’Aime. »
Chaque point bleu est une preuve filmée de fraternité.

“Brüderlichkeit ist die Hoffnung der Menschheit.”
Un jour, deux institutions ont contesté le nom « Paris T’Aime ».
Elles disaient qu’il ressemblait trop à « Paris je t’aime » ou « Paris vous aime ».
Ce n’était pas un obstacle, mais un message de Paris : garder l’amour clair, humble et humain.
J’ai souri. Ces trois phrases — je / tu / vous — sont notre manière de vivre ensemble.
Paris T’Aime est né pour prouver : Paris t’aime, pour de vrai.
La fraternité existe toujours.
C'est ici que la fable devient réalité.
Les preuves filmées et l'écosystème restent vivants,
pour que d'autres continuent à faire grandir la fraternité.
Paris je t’aime / Paris vous aime / Paris t’aime — voices of clarity.
A question, a smile, a proof of humanity.
Choose a gesture to support.
From Paris to the world: breaths of kindness.
The Useful and Dynamic Cinema
« I film the soul, the spirit, and the heart of Paris.
It is not a film about Paris.
It is Paris filming the world, through one man. »
1) A necessity born from reality The useful and dynamic cinema was born in the streets, from human gestures and gratitude. It does not aim to observe, but to accompany. It is useful because it helps, and dynamic because it continues after the projection.
2) The method To film → To act → To acknowledge → To replay. Each film becomes a social act, each spectator a relay, each neighborhood a workshop of light. It is a horizontal cinema — one that walks at human height.
3) The extended heritage From Chaplin (active emotion) to neorealism (reconstructed truth), from Varda (tender gleaning) to Marker (living memory), Paris T’Aime continues these gestures to repair the social bond.
4) The answer for the 21st century In the age of disposable images, it restores to the 7th art its original purpose: to serve humanity. It is not a film about Paris; it is Paris filming the world, through one man.
A simple proof: cinema can still love, connect, and heal.
“Paris is not a city, it’s a world.”
In every corner of the street, there is a story that deserves to be seen.
