France | 2019 | Éric Baudelaire

A class of 21 multicultural middle schoolers on the outskirts of Paris use video cameras to record their perspectives on current socio-political concerns—from ethnicity and discrimination to immigration and elections—in this refreshing nonfiction film that is both purposeful and playful. Shot over four years, this intimate, enlightening project was overseen by the 2019 recipient of France’s prestigious Marcel Duchamp prize, Éric Baudelaire. “[A] rare film that conveys the capacious lyricism we tend to associate with the cinema of Agnès Varda. This is one of the year’s very best.” –Cinema Scope. Cleveland premiere. Subtitles. 114 min.
