1: 00:00:20.20 00:00:24.15 Mrs de Galard, you are in charge of the #Dim Dam Dom #programme#.# 2: 00:00:24.20 00:00:28.05 It is one of the most revolutionary shows on TV. 3: 00:00:28.19 00:00:31.20 Where did the idea for this show come from ? 4: 00:00:32.07 00:00:34.21 A year ago, Mr Contamine asked me 5: 00:00:35.00 00:00:38.01 to develop a women's program for the second channel. 6: 00:00:38.09 00:00:41.19 There was nothing revolutionary to the project on paper. 7: 00:00:41.23 00:00:43.23 It was a succession of segments, 8: 00:00:44.02 00:00:47.24 but very short ones, and that was revolutionary. 9: 00:00:48.03 00:00:53.01 Some of them were 1-2 mn long, up to 15 mn. 10: 00:00:53.05 00:00:58.06 We feature up to 10 segments on very different people within an hour. 11: 00:00:58.12 00:01:02.11 What is the guiding principle of the programme ? 12: 00:01:02.23 00:01:06.19 We want to inform the public 13: 00:01:07.11 00:01:11.06 through high-quality images, 14: 00:01:11.10 00:01:13.11 and high-quality sound now. 15: 00:01:15.09 00:01:18.08 What lies behind this quest for aestheticism ? 16: 00:01:18.12 00:01:22.18 I would like to make as many people as possible 17: 00:01:22.22 00:01:27.18 aware of the problems surrounding and affecting them. 18: 00:01:28.07 00:01:31.02 By people I mean women, basically. 19: 00:01:31.21 00:01:36.06 This should enable them to envision their daily surroundings 20: 00:01:36.12 00:01:41.05 with some taste and some sense of quality, 21: 00:01:41.09 00:01:44.00 I try to infuse the images with that same quality. 22: 00:01:46.21 00:01:49.04 I tend to lean toward the 2nd dimension, 23: 00:01:49.08 00:01:51.02 and for an issue... 24: 00:01:51.06 00:01:55.08 To look neat, a topic cannot be left raw. 25: 00:01:56.03 00:02:00.03 It must be thought-through, worked-out and the topic well-prepared. 26: 00:02:00.12 00:02:01.24 And then... 27: 00:02:02.11 00:02:05.00 We may end up with a... 28: 00:02:05.04 00:02:08.05 with an image which may seem absurd 29: 00:02:08.09 00:02:11.24 to someone who didn't watch it or didn't understand. 30: 00:02:12.07 00:02:15.17 But this image will be able to move, 31: 00:02:15.23 00:02:18.11 because of our concern for quality, 32: 00:02:18.15 00:02:20.21 it will move people with inquiring minds, 33: 00:02:21.00 00:02:23.10 who are actually our target for this show. 34: 00:02:26.08 00:02:28.22 You say you want to introduce 35: 00:02:29.01 00:02:31.15 everyday issues to female viewers, 36: 00:02:31.19 00:02:36.00 by showing them images resembling associations of ideas. 37: 00:02:37.02 00:02:39.07 We have a fashion segment 38: 00:02:39.12 00:02:41.21 featuring little sailors, 39: 00:02:42.00 00:02:45.13 which were everywhere this year presented by all the designers. 40: 00:02:45.17 00:02:50.14 We present these fashion models in front of Jules Verne screenings, 41: 00:02:50.19 00:02:52.20 because a Jules Verne exhibition 42: 00:02:52.24 00:02:55.19 is about to open at the #Bibliothèque Nationale#. 43: 00:02:55.23 00:02:58.24 And we want to link those sailor costumes 44: 00:02:59.04 00:03:00.16 to Captain Nemo. 45: 00:03:00.20 00:03:04.24 Our aim is to place the sailors from today's fashion, spring '66, 46: 00:03:05.03 00:03:06.22 in the news. 47: 00:03:07.09 00:03:12.05 Not only fashion news: our models aren't standing on a catwalk. 48: 00:03:12.09 00:03:15.22 They are connected to Jules Verne, 49: 00:03:16.01 00:03:18.09 who wrote #20 000 Leagues Under the Sea,# 50: 00:03:19.09 00:03:21.14 and connected the sea to his work. 51: 00:03:21.24 00:03:26.09 This segment was shot by a fashion photographer, 52: 00:03:26.13 00:03:29.03 a young man called Just Jaeckin. 53: 00:03:29.14 00:03:31.01 Vadim has worked for us, 54: 00:03:31.05 00:03:35.21 as well as Agnès Varda, for a segment to be shown later on. 55: 00:03:36.21 00:03:41.14 Regular movie directors work for us. 56: 00:03:41.18 00:03:45.24 They adapt to the television format and to #Dim Dam Dom#, 57: 00:03:46.03 00:03:49.21 in order to take part in this magazine. 58: 00:03:52.06 00:03:53.06 I'm fairly happy 59: 00:03:53.10 00:03:57.09 because until now, the show has been watched and enjoyed 60: 00:03:57.13 00:03:59.03 by a certain group of people. 61: 00:03:59.07 00:04:03.14 They say it's high-quality, refined, smart and sophisticated... 62: 00:04:03.18 00:04:04.20 Whatever. 63: 00:04:04.24 00:04:08.15 They take their hat off to the show. 64: 00:04:08.19 00:04:10.21 I have yet another goal. 65: 00:04:11.00 00:04:14.13 I want as many women as possible to watch it. 66: 00:04:14.21 00:04:18.01 How can you get them to?
