Mon 2nd – Laurence Equilbey by Andy Sommer, 2×43 min
This film combines the most beautiful pages of music, the Accentus choir and Laurence Equilbey within
three visual worlds. From the intimacy of Laurence Equilbey’s apartment, where she prepares her work and
rests, to the Salle Pleyel, site of a spectacular concert, we transit through an imaginary place where
suggestions and stage directions of the choir animate the film.
Tue 3rd – Barcelone ou la mort, Idrissa Guiro, 49 min
From a Dakar suburb, flimsy boats set sail for Europe, the symbol of a struggle and a people: fishermen
deprived of their livelihood by globalisation and who are forced to smuggle illegal aliens into Spain. The
country has no future to offer its youth. In each family, someone dreams of leaving, at any price, and
reaching Barcelona, a word that has come to symbolise the European dream.
Wed 4th – Dans Les Décombres by Oliver Meys, 72 min
Hutong were once typical of old Beijing: houses located behind a courtyard at the end of narrow streets,
the last bastion of forgotten crafts and the city’s history. Preparation for the Olympic Games would be their
death knell. The last hutong, south of the Forbidden City, were razed by bulldozers and their inhabitants
brutally expelled after long months of speculation and vein protests. This film is the portrait of a
neighbourhood and a tale of modern-day China.
Thu 5th – D’un mur l’autre by Patrick Jean, 90 min
From the former Berlin wall to the new Ceuta fence in Africa, this road movie takes the viewer across
Europe. It crosses at least four borders, but deals with a single theme: a mixed-race, multi-cultural
society, rich in diversity despite a tradition of exclusion. These encounters of uprooted people from
Sardinia, Congo, Bolivia, or Rumania, are all tales of courage and dignity, and the fierce energy driving
their quest.
At Alliance Francaise Auditorium, on College Road, (Opposite Good Shepherd School).
