Twenty-year-old Adile lives in Aubervilliers, one of the roughest slums in Paris, and spends his time hanging around the hood and fixing motorbikes, until his grandfather suddenly disappears. Portraying a tight-knit community, this stunning black-and-white film combines a series of intertwining narratives with real-life interviews with current and former residents of the neighborhood.

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.
