Free Live Stream: Un Film Dramatique (A Documentary Made By and About French Middle Schoolers Grappling with Modern Politics)
The Utah Film Center is excited to announce our upcoming screening of Un Film Dramatique, on Tuesday, May 11th, at 7PM MST! The documentary follows a group of French middle school students as they ponder their place and meaning in the current sociopolitical climate. This is an excellent film for those interested in coming of age stories and education.
Synopsis:
Commissioned as a dedicated artwork for the newly constructed Dora Maar middle school on the outskirts of Paris, Un Film Dramatique is a lively portrait of the first class to attend the school, filmed over the course of four years. The group of 21 middle schoolers discuss the drama of their daily lives and experiment with cameras and equipment. They are the film’s subjects, and also its makers. As the students debate the approaching elections and the immigration crisis, they also seek to answer a key political question—what are we doing here together?
We’d be pleased if you would join us and hope that your friends and family can too! Please feel free to forward this email and/or share the Facebook event and tag us at @utahfilmcenter with the hashtags #utahfilmcenter and #unfilmdramatique.
