Directed by Sylvain George
(2012) 154min, 35mm
Filmmaker Sylvain George spent three years in Calais observing the living conditions of the mostly undocumented migrants there. Shot in black and white, the film is a collage of striking fragments, ultimately finding hope in the spirit of resistance and solidarity among local people to defend these outcasts unjustly deprived of their fundamental rights.

The Ghett'Out Film Festival comes to New York, highlighting the work of filmmakers on the fringes of the French film industry. Many of the filmmakers are minorities from low-income backgrounds and self-taught; they are the leaders of a new New Wave in France. BAMcinématek is proud to present these selections from the festival in partnership with the French Cultural Services.
