(Francia/2022) Alice Diop (122'). Theatre in justice: talk with Stefano Canestrari, Judith Vailhé, Anna Masecchia. Moderator: Paolo Pellicano. O.V. with italian subtitles

  • Date: 26 MARCH 2024  from 15:30 to 19:00

  • Event location: CINEMA MODERNISSIMO - PIAZZA RE ENZO, 1/1

Gran premio della giuria and Leone del futuro at Venice 2022, documentary filmmaker Alice Diop's first fiction film is inspired by a true story - a child killed by his mother on a Calais beach - that shook French public opinion. While faithful to the accounts of the trial, the director filters the story through the eyes of a pregnant journalist, also of Senegalese origin like the accused, creating a game of mirrors capable of looking into the depths.

Admission is free. For the 3:30 pm talk there is no reservation, for the 5 pm projection book your place here.
