Hello Anthony & all list members !

I am a French science writer and TV documentary director, currently working on a 26 minute TV film about nanotechnology and science-fiction, which will be aired on Arte channel (in France and Germany) on May 26th. It will be part of a special evening on nanotech, along with a longer documentary on current nano research.

First of all, I want to thank you for your efforts. It's been an invaluable help for identifying worthwhile reading in the field. I hope to contribute soon with a list of nanotechnology in French SF.

Right now I'm researching illustration and images, and I will be thankful for any suggestion. I think I'll mostly stay away from movies and TV-films (references in Anthony's list don't look too appealing) and go for the computer graphics - from games, short fiction and experimental pieces, university productions, demos, videoclips, science visualization, etc. And also animated Japanese SF mangas. Some computer graphics will be created for this program, too.

Hope to hear from some of you soon. Will keep you posted about what I find. Cheers to all !
