Post–screening discussion with Sylvain George 

Directed by Sylvain George

(2012) 154min, 35mm

Filmmaker Sylvain George spent three years in Calais observing the living conditions of the mostly undocumented migrants there. Shot in black and white, the film is a collage of striking fragments, ultimately finding hope in the spirit of resistance and solidarity among local people to defend these outcasts unjustly deprived of their fundamental rights.
