Agnès Molia and Raphaël Licandro

Agnès Molia: Within the scope of the 50th anniversary of UNESCO and its famous World Heritage Listing, Agnès discovered Egypt and started rubbing shoulders with archaeologists. She then directed several movies for the TV channel France 3 in Egypt as well as in Petra, Jordan. Her new passion for archaeology empowered her to create and direct a first 30x26’ series for ARTE FRANCE, titled “Sur nos Traces” [Heritage title: “Humanity’s Footsteps”], which retraces the history of France from paleolithic times to the Middle Ages, based on the archaeological discoveries made on French territory. A second 30x26’ ARTE FRANCE series, titled “Archaeologoical Investigations”, led her to travel the world to highlight the latest discoveries that cast a new, original light on the greatest sites of world heritage. Agnès also supervised the making of 90-minute docu-dramas for the TV channel France 5, such as “Schnidi, the ghost of the Neolithic”, “In the footsteps of the Nabataeans”, which she co-directed, and, for ARTE FRANCE, “The Champollions”, “Inca Empire: a giant revealed”, as well as historical movies such as “Napoleon-Metternich: the beginning of the end” and “Napoleon, destiny and death”. In the years since anthropology became a new field of filmmaking for Agnès. she has also produced and directed three series for ARTE FRANCE: “Rituals of the World” (2018), in 20x26’, “Lands of Women” in 5x52’, and “Live”, also 5x52’. Agnès Molia is also known for “Too hot to work” (2023).
