FRATERNAL CINEMA FROM THE 80 NEIGHBORHOODS OF PARIS.

I film the soul, the spirit, and the heart of Paris.

A human project. A useful and dynamic cinema.

FRATERNAL CINEMA FROM THE 80 NEIGHBORHOODS OF PARIS.

Where the light touches the cobblestones,

a true story begins.

FRATERNAL CINEMA FROM THE 80 NEIGHBORHOODS OF PARIS.

We don’t look for heroes.

We film them when they reach out their hands.

FRATERNAL CINEMA FROM THE 80 NEIGHBORHOODS OF PARIS.

Freedom sometimes wears a helmet and a laugh.

FRATERNAL CINEMA FROM THE 80 NEIGHBORHOODS OF PARIS.

Paris T’Aime.

A human project, a shared light.

Thank you, Paris, and thank you, France

I lost everything — and yet, Paris kept me standing...

1. When everything collapsed

The Cat-filmmaker alone in his empty shop in Paris

One day, everything stopped at once.

My company was gone,
my bearings too.

I thought I had lost everything —
I did not yet know
that a silent system
was watching over me,
here, in Paris.

2. The silent system that lifts me back up

Invisible hands supporting the Cat-filmmaker, symbolising French social support

These are not visible heroes,
but safety nets, social schemes,
people I may never meet.

Quietly, Paris and France
prevented my total fall
and helped me back up.

3. Covid and the promise

The Cat-filmmaker ill in bed, looking at the city of Paris through the window

Feverish, alone,
Ten thousand kilometres from my hometown,
confined to bed with Covid,
I rewatch the film of my life:
years of travelling across Europe,
a few fleeting successes…

Then, from one day to the next, nothing.
In that silence,
I understand:
Paris had never left me.

I made a promise:
if I recover, I will be useful — in Paris.

4. The trainings that gave birth to a unique fraternal project

The Cat-filmmaker surrounded by training certificates and computers

The French state financed my trainings.
That helping hand did more
than change my daily life:

it allowed a unique fraternal project,
“Paris T’Aime”, to be born.

The diplomas became
the pieces of the vessel:

E-commerce project manager (2020)

Web designer (2022)

Community manager (2024)

5. The kindness-witness pilgrimage

The Cat-filmmaker filming a kind gesture in a Paris street

To thank Paris,
I began my pilgrimage of kindness.

Camera in hand,
I glean invisible acts of goodness,
smiles,
filmed proofs of fraternity,
street after street.

There, I discovered some
of the most beautiful images of human beings.

6. Birth of the Paris T’Aime ecosystem

Diagram of the different parts of the Paris T’Aime ecosystem around the Cat-filmmaker

Little by little, these images
came together into a living ecosystem.

A human and social cinema
celebrating 240 years of Fraternity,
carrying a single name: “Paris T’Aime”.

the living film “Paris T’Aime”;
the endless serials of Paris’s 80 neighbourhoods;
the Paris T’Aime Label — a medal of fraternity;
the participatory platform “Compose My Paris”;
a solidarity e-commerce “Made in Paris with Heart”.

7. The engine found at Paris 8

The Cat-filmmaker at Paris 8 University, standing in front of the words “cinéma utile et dynamique”

At Paris 8,
I find the engine of the vessel:
useful and dynamic cinema.

There I understand that these images
are not just a film,
but a living dispositif.

I register the PARIS T’AIME trademark
to honour and protect
this fraternal project.

8. Oppositions falling from the sky

The Cat-filmmaker facing the oppositions surrounding the PARIS T’AIME trademark

On the very last day
of the official publication of the PARIS T’AIME trademark,
two oppositions fall from the sky.

On one side, I keep filming
ignored proofs of fraternity.
On the other, the right to use this name
for a social project is challenged.

A legal battle begins,
but the camera
does not stop.

9. Suspense: Does Paris love you?

The Cat-filmmaker in a suspenseful atmosphere, facing the question “Does Paris love you?”

Between 2026 and 2029,
on the streets of Paris,
each shoot becomes
a trial of love.

Shopkeepers, passers-by, residents,
tourists just passing through:
each one leaves a trace of fraternity.

On paristaime.com,
the world discovers another Paris,
discreet and fraternal.

One question returns,
like a refrain:
“Does Paris love you?”

10. A modern fable up to 2029 and beyond

The Cat-filmmaker looking at Paris in 2029 with the words “Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité” in the background

This is where the real story begins.

From 2019 to 2029,
a modern fable unfolds
in the streets of Paris
to prove that fraternity still exists —
and that Paris remains the world capital
of fraternity, 240 years after 1789.

But 2029 is not an ending.
It is a passing of the torch.

After that date,
the images, the filmed proofs
and the Paris T’Aime ecosystem
remain alive,
so that others can go on
growing fraternity.

The Pilgrimage

With a camera in hand, I glean gestures of kindness in the streets of Paris.

Thank you, Paris, and thank you, France

“Thank you, Paris” Portraits

Ce sont des visages, des voix, des yeux, et un geste qui change une journée.

Thank you, Paris, and thank you, France

Les dispositifs au service des Parisiens et des visiteurs

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.

Travail & Métiers. Artisans, commerçants, travailleurs — visages du courage à Paris.

Paris vit par ses professionnels : artisans, commerces, métiers du quotidien.

Je filme ces mains qui travaillent — preuves de dignité et de fraternité.

Voici quelques scènes de vie professionnelle, à hauteur d’humain.

Aide sociale & mobilité. Infos utiles, transports, démarches — pour avancer à Paris.

Parce qu’à Paris, se déplacer et s’orienter change la vie.

Entre entraide, services publics et gestes simples — des chemins se rouvrent.

Paris 8. Étudier le cinéma, confirmer une méthode — le moteur intérieur.

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.

Paris 8 — Learning by Filming

Filmer → agir → reconnaître → rejouer.

The Living Film — multi-version, useful and dynamic

A classic film freezes roles and settings. Paris T’aime frees them: one story, many lives — filmed as proof.

The same story can be replayed by different people, in different places — reality continues the film.

In front of the camera, each person shows the best of themselves. The image becomes a model that invites us to live as in the film we act.

Useful and dynamic cinema: film → act → recognize → replay. A scene can be replayed to make it more fraternal.

Useful Cinema — filmed gestures that help

When an image serves someone, it becomes proof of humanity: every smile, every extended hand joins the same living film.

The Living Film — multi-version, useful and dynamic

Dynamic Cinema — the scene continues

People change, places change; fraternity remains. The same act can be replayed by others, always in motion.

The Living Film — multi-version, useful and dynamic

« These filmed gestures do not stop at the screen. They continue their journey, from hand to hand. Thus was born a shared light: the Paris T’Aime ecosystem. »

The Serials — the neighborhoods of Paris

The living episodes of Paris — each neighborhood writes its own chapter.

Each filmed proof gives birth to an endless story.

In each of the 80 neighborhoods, the film continues: new smiles, new gestures, the same heart.

Together, these stories form the infinite serials of fraternity — the living rhythm of useful and dynamic cinema.

A personal homage, wherever fraternity lives.

From the Declaration of 1789 to today, Paris keeps the idea of fraternity alive.

Each generation must reinvent it — not with words, but with gestures.

“Paris T’Aime” films these gestures to preserve the living memory of fraternity.

240 years later, the promise of the Revolution shines again in the streets of Paris.

It’s not nostalgia — it’s continuity, filmed with truth.

🌍 Paris T’Aime — A Human Creation for the World

A useful and dynamic cinema: every filmed gesture becomes a lived gesture.

Paris T’Aime was born in the streets of Paris, from a promise made in silence: "if I survive, I will be useful, in Paris."

It is not a film that observes the world — it is a cinema that acts within it. Every gesture filmed becomes a gesture lived.

This is the vision of the Fraternal Cinema — a useful and dynamic cinema where each image repairs a piece of the human link.

Through the eyes of one filmmaker, Paris becomes the heart of a universal experience: proving that fraternity still exists, and that beauty is beautiful only when it helps.

Paris T’Aime is not just a film. It is a living creation — a human promise shared with the world.

Anecdote — The Trial of Names: a modern fable on clarity and fraternity.

1. L'épreuve des noms

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.

2. La Fraternité en marche

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.

3. 2029 et après

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.

Thank You, Humanity

A filmed fraternity — proof that the human heart still responds.

I began by thanking a city. I ended up thanking strangers — in many languages, through countless discreet gestures.

Cinema becomes a bridge: from street to hearts, from one hand to another.

The more technology advances, the more fraternity becomes the hope of our future. We film it humbly, so that it may live.

Because fraternity is not a concept, but a living movement.

🎞️ Director’s Statement

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. »

— Li Yongxin,

Read the full statement

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.

Signature

Une promesse simple : filmer pour relier.

Je signe ce film comme un geste de gratitude.

Qu’il porte une lumière utile, patiente et fraternelle.

— Réalisation

“Paris is not a city, it’s a world.”

— King Francis I

In every corner of the street, there is a story that deserves to be seen.
