No more laughing

Fini de rire

“No more laughing” is cross media project about Freedom of Speech new limits through editorial cartoonists point of view, co-produced with Arte and the RTBF (Belgium).

Initiated in 2006 at the launch of the Cartooning for Peace association in New York in the aftermath of the Prophet Muhammad cartoon affair, No More Laughing explores this question through those who, as both artists and journalists, are at the forefront of a fight that lies at the heart of 21st century political and social issues: press cartoonists.

No More Laughing uses press cartoons in the same way as a history book is opened: i.e. in order to understand issues, you distance yourself from them and then analyse them and form your own opinion. Throughout the course of history, from knowledge, know-how, changes in attitudes, advances in technology, to the invention of the global printing press and the worldwide web, the fight and defence of freedom of expression is one which is constantly being reinvented.

The project is built around a 52’ unitary documentary and a web documentary.
