The man leading the operation is Jacques Jaujard, the Louvre Museum's director. Jaujard had an extraordinary personality and was madly in love with art. Although he was a devoted servant of the State, he used his knowledge of the system and his audacity to serve a universal cause: saving the world heritage. The film talks about this important chapter of history combining interviews, rare footage (including Jaujard's notebook), supported by a dynamic narration, animated sequences of the protagonists embedded in archives and footage shot in situ. This form is in ad equation with our heroes' elegance who remained until now in the shadow... SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Emmy Awards, ...The Man Who Saved the Louvre ( Illustre et inconnu )
