Film screening: "One by One"
The Fondation Maison des Sciences de l’Homme is hosting a screening of the film One by One, attended by Camille Guigueno, the director.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with Camille Guigueno, Vincent Guigueno, co-author of the film, sea rescuer in Dunkirk and member of the Académie de Marine, and Camille Martel, PhD student in geography at the University of Le Havre Normandy, whose work focuses on the maritime nature of migration in the English Channel and the challenges associated with rescue operations.
This meeting will be an opportunity to look back on the rescue operations carried out in the English Channel since 2018, combining cinematic, historical and scientific perspectives.
About the film
Since 2018, more and more people have been boarding makeshift boats in an attempt to reach England. The volunteer sea rescuers of Dunkirk, true to their commitment, go out to rescue those who do not make it.
Back at the dock, in the cramped space of the boat, memories and images of operations resurface.

About the speakers
Camille Guigueno obtained their Master's degree in Cinema from the Sorbonne in 2021, with a research thesis titled "Un cinéma à bonne distance : filmer la migration en Italie depuis les années 2000" (Cinema at a safe distance: filming migration in Italy since the 2000s). A chapter of this thesis was published in the collective work "Faire l'histoire en la filmant" (Making History by Filming It) (2024, Paris, CNRS Éditions), edited by Christian Delage and Claire Demoulin. In 2023, they graduated with a Master's degree in Documentary Film: Writing about the Contemporary World (DEMC) from Paris Diderot University. Between 2023 and 2024, they worked with a group of young people to help them make their first short documentary film with the association ‘Toi, Moi & Co’. In 2025, they directed ONE BY ONE, their first documentary film, which has been selected for the 30th Rencontres du Cinéma documentaire de Périphérie.
Vincent Guigueno is a historian specialised in the history of lighthouses, working in the field of maritime heritage. He is a member of the Académie de Marine and regularly publishes film reviews in the magazine Chasse Marée. He met with the Société Nationale de Sauvetage en Mer (SNSM) to prepare an exhibition entitled "Mayday! Voices and Faces of Sea Rescue", presented in 2017 at the National Maritime Museum. In the spring of 2023, as the ONE BY ONE film project took shape, he decided to become a rescue worker and began training as a deckhand. He also trained as a first-aid volunteer with the Red Cross. Since then, he has participated in several operations, including rescues of refugees attempting to cross the Strait of Dover.
