POINTEUSE ET APRES (LA)

I admit today, I benefited at the time of the shooting of this short film with an experimental character from the complicity of a former classmate, son of the boss of this garment factory. I had interfered by making it seem like I was shooting a document about the manufacturing of overalls. But I was there to illustrate the words of a young worker, daughter of a militant CGT of the railway and activist cégétiste herself. The film includes two parts: the ritual of punching out from the first to the last worker and the jostle of the exit into the bicycle garage. The first part is interspersed with 5 mini-sequences of work symbolizing the sum of 40 weekly hours.

The Assembly Line

A few months after May '68, Robert, a graduate of the Ecole Normale Supérieure and a far-left activist, decides to get a job at Citroën as a line worker. Like other comrades, he wants to infiltrate the factory to rekindle the revolutionary fire, but the majority of workers no longer want to hear about politics. When Citroën decides to pay back the Grenelle Agreements by requiring workers to work 3 hours overtime per week for free, Robert and some others see the possibility of a social movement.

For Sama

A love letter from a young mother to her daughter, the film tells the story of Waad al-Kateab’s life through five years of the uprising in Aleppo, Syria as she falls in love, gets married and gives birth to Sama, all while cataclysmic conflict rises around her. Her camera captures incredible stories of loss, laughter and survival as Waad wrestles with an impossible choice– whether or not to flee the city to protect her daughter’s life, when leaving means abandoning the struggle for freedom for which she has already sacrificed so much.
