Aubervilliers, Eli Lotar
France, 1946, black and white, 25 min
Life in areas with unsanitary dwellings; shot by Eli Lotar and narrated by Jacques Prévert, combining political critique with poetry. Footage of children confronted with poverty are the leitmotif of this film, to the soundtrack of the song Gentils Enfants d'Aubervilliers, Gentils Enfants des Prolétaires.
Le Terrain, Bijan Anquetil
France, 2013, colour, 42 min
Ten Romani families move into an urban wasteland allocated to them by the Saint-Denis municipality. With materials gleaned here and there, each family builds their ingenious, sometimes comfortable home. To respond to the local council’s requirements, the group implements rules for communal living.
With Alice Diop, Bijan Anquetil, Paul Costes and participants in the collective film Je Vous Écris de Seine Saint-Denis
