He then works from 2015 on the development of his second project entitled “a Silence”. A much more ambitious film, “The Symphony Orchestra of the XXth district”, “Radio France” and the “Guimet Museum” are closely involved in the production of the film.

Wishing to offer a unique evening around classical music, Lancelot Mingau formalized an exclusive partnership with the management of UGC in order to organize a unique screening for the film “Un Silence”.
