Gaston Revel, a schoolteacher in Algeria

In 1936, Gaston Revel entered the École Normale in Algiers, where he was supposed to learn how to "educate the native." It was also during this time that he began to take an interest in politics: he was drawn to the Popular Front, then to Spanish anarchism, and finally to communism. From 1940 to 1955, he taught in Algeria, first in rural areas, then in Bejaia. He returned to Europe because of the war and landed in Provence in September 1914, following the Allied advance. It was in Bejaia, in 1945, that he became fully committed to the Algerian Communist Party: in 1953, he ran for municipal office in the second electoral district (reserved for Algerians) and sat alongside the Muslims. In 1955, at the beginning of the war, he was forced to leave Algeria against his will. But, like thousands of other "red feet," he returned there in 1962 and resumed his teaching career. From all those years, he left a complete and deeply committed record, many letters, notebooks, and newspaper articles.

The Hills of Wrath

The Hills of Wrath takes us to the heart of the land of Condrieu and Côte-Rôtie wines, the singular domains of winemaker Christine Vernay. Beyond the climatic hazards that these women and men will endure that year, the film is an odyssey that pays tribute to an extraordinary place and personalities, a breath of hope that they transmit to us in the face of a changing world. Through their experience, it is also an important testimony to various current issues: the consequences of climate change, the place of women in agriculture, the rupture in biodiversity and soil protection via organic viticulture and of course transmission.
