    This festival introduces four previously unreleased documentaries that will premiere in France as part of a film festival on immigration and diversity at the Cité Nationale de l'Histoire de l'Immigration in 2011. Each film tackles the theme of cultural identity in contemporary France from a different perspective, and three of the films' directors will join us to present their new and exciting work.  Organized in collaboration with le FIDEL (Festival Images de la Diversité et de l'Égalité).
