This is a collective film shot on film, made with and by the opponents of the Cigéo project in Bure and the surrounding area, in the Meuse and Haute-Marne departments. In the film, several worlds clash, intersect, observe each other, mingle, or avoid one another. There are people who live underground, others on the surface or in the trees. We imagined what would happen in a world contaminated by nuclear power. A dystopian film? Perhaps. But also an archival film where some of the places that appear on screen no longer exist. This film was made in parallel with the struggle, alongside it, in close contact with it, in the slow, deliberate process of collective creation, between 2016 and 2020. The story was entirely written, inspired by what was happening here. It is permeated by our fears about the future, our anger and our hope that there will always be people to inhabit the threatened areas and fight against these morbid projects.

Kunsthal Charlottenborg and CPH:DOX present an exhibition with the French star artist Laure Prouvost, who will open the festival’s first day. Prouvost’s creative and unruly inner universe is expressed through art forms such as sculpture, installation and video - and always with characteristic roots in Prouvost’s own persona. Her brand-new video work ’Re-dit-en-un-in-learning’ is no exception. Here, she welcomes us to a learning centre that multiplies the absurdity of the education system with itself in a nonsensical New Public Management language, which the title also alludes to. With an iPhone video guide at hand and Prouvost as a teacher on the soundtrack, we are taught the relationship between objects and their meaning. A loaf of bread means work. ‘You know that,’ each new topic is authoritatively emphasised. But as soon as you think that it’s the Institution itself that is the object of Prouvost’s anarchist satire, her restless and unruly work changes direction.
