Alex Descas, born 1958, is a French actor known for his roles in Jim Jarmusch films and for his role as Schneider in the French TV series Un Flic.
He is a frequent collaborator of Claire Denis, appearing in her films No Fear, No Die, Nénette et Boni, Trouble Every Day, Ten Minutes Older: The Cello, 35 Shots of Rum and Bastards.
Claire Denis (French: [dəni]; born 21 April 1946) is a French film director and writer. Her work has dealt with themes of colonial and post-colonial West Africa, as well as issues in modern France.
Denis was born in Paris, France to French natives, and raised in colonial French Africa: Burkina Faso, Somalia, Senegal and Cameroon, where her father was a civil servant. Her childhood spent living in West Africa with her parents and her younger sister would color her perspectives on certain political issues. It has been a strong influence on her films, which have dealt with themes of colonialism and post-colonialism in Africa. Her father moved with the family every two years because he wanted the children to learn about geography. Growing up in West Africa, Denis used to watch the old and damaged copies of war films sent from the United States. As an adolescent she loved to read. Completing the required material while in school, at night she would sneak her mother's detective stories to read. When Denis was 14 years old, she moved with her mother and sister to a Parisian suburb in France, a country that she hardly knew at all. Her parents wanted their children to finish their education in France.
Murder in Pacot (French: Meurtre à Pacot, German: Mord in Haiti) is feature film by Haitian film director Raoul Peck. The film stars Joy Olasunmibo Ogunmakin, Alex Descas, Thibault Vinçon, and Lovely Kermonde Fifi and is a continuation of the theme Peck featured in his last documentary, Assistance Mortelle (Fatal Assistance), on international aid to Haiti following the earthquake of 12 January 2010 which opened at New York's Film Society of Lincoln Center in February 2014. The lead producers of the joint Haitan, French and Norwegian production were Peck and Remi Grellety.
The story, a traditional stranger-comes-to-town plot line examining how the earthquake upended Haiti's strongly divided class system, is loosely inspired by the 1968 mystery Teorema by Italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini. In that screenplay, which Pasolini adapted from his own novel, a mysterious stranger, played by Terence Stamp, intrudes an Italian family and seduces every member of the household before leaving as suddenly and mysterious as he came.
Alex is a common name used in multiple languages. In English, it is usually a diminutive of the male given name Alexander, or its female equivalent Alexandra or Alexandria. Aleck or Alec is the Scottish form of Alex. The East European male name Alexey (Aleksei, Alexis, Aleksa) is also sometimes shortened to Alex. It is a commonly used nickname in Spanish for Alejandro, Alexandro, Alejandrino and Alexandrino, and related names like Alexa and Alexis.

Jim Jarmusch joined Film Society of Lincoln Center's Gavin Smith for a Q&A; following a screening of The Limits of Control on April 30th, 2009 Set in the striking and varied landscapes of contemporary Spain (both urban and otherwise), shot by acclaimed cinematography Christopher Doyle, and featuring music by cult Japanese psychedelic metal band Boris, The Limits of Control is the story of a mysterious loner (played by Isaach De Bankolé) whose activities remain meticulously outside the law. He is in the process of completing a job, yet he trusts no one, and his objectives remain a mystery until the very end of the film. His journey, paradoxically both intently focused and dreamlike, takes him not only across Spain but also through his own consciousness. In addition to De Bankolé, The Limit...
- Depuis le début des années 2000, la Guadeloupe a été le théâtre de quelques rares tournages. Pour la plupart des films d’actions ou des comédies. Pour la quasi-majorité d’entre-eux des fiascos aussi. On pense notamment à Speed 2 : Cap sur le danger ou à Antilles sur Seine, avec Pascal Légitimus. Mais dans le lot, Nèg Maron, l’œuvre de Jean-Claude Flamand Barny, mérite que l’on appuie sur le bouton pause. Pour prendre le poul d'une époque. Sorti en 2005, ce film qui raconte les aventures de deux amis d’enfance à la dérive dans les rues de Pointe-à-Pitre a été plutôt bien reçu par les critiques à l’époque de sa sortie. Les revues spécialisées comme les mass média saluent « un documentaire qui laisse volontiers place à la fiction », comme l’écrit alors le site Africultures.com. C’es...
