Aux yeux de tous



Cédric Jimenez & Arnaud Duprey : 2012
Paris Under Watch

The eve of the French presidential elections. 673,000 surveillance cameras and millions of webcams in France. An anonymous hacker has full access to all cameras in Paris and observes the city without anyone's knowledge. Petty crime and stolen moments of intimacy, he sees everything. A bomb devastates the crowded Gare d'Austerlitz, causing many fatalities and injuries. The government accuses Islamist militants. But the hacker carefully studies the pictures of the explosion, and running away, the young couple responsible for the crime. Using the city's surveillance cameras, he spies on the couple and manipulates them. In the process, unaware of what exactly he has put his finger on, he discovers that the truth can have many faces.
