In the footsteps of Tintin

From Monday 20 to Friday, September 24, 2010 on Arte at 7.50 p.m.


A series of five documentary films entitled In the footsteps of Tintin : following Tintin... with a cameraman ! The films are based on the theme 'dreams and reality'. How many people, young and old, have dreamed of being a fearless hero, of travelling around the world defying danger, and of exploring far-off lands, like Tintin ?


This series is based on the close relationship between Hergé's drawings, and real people and places. Arresting and inspiring sequences of images, video and sound from exotic countries, alongside pictures from Tintin's adventures and all kinds research material accumulated by Hergé during his lifetime, make for an unforgettable experience.
If you really want to step into Hergé's universe, what better way to do so than to follow his adventures first-hand, by foot, on horseback, by camel, by car, by boat, by train and by aeroplane!
