It is this territory north of Paris, near the Porte de la Chapelle, a cosmopolitan territory, populated by precarious, illegal inhabitants of different nationalities, inspired the latest film by our guest of the day: Clément Cogitore. Goutte d’Or is the third feature film by this filmmaker, also known on the international contemporary art scene. We also receive actor Karim Leklou, who plays the main role of Goutte d’Or, that of Ramses, a charlatan medium whose life will change when he has a real vision.
On the bill of our cinema also this Saturday, a return to the 73rd Berlinale, with a meeting with the artistic director Carlo Chatrian, and the announcement of Fespaco. A film makes the link between these two festivals: Sira, by the Burkinabe filmmaker Apolline Traoré, portrait of a Fulani superheroine in the fight against terrorism, this film is in selection in Berlin in the Panorama section and in competition for the Stallion of Yenenga from Fespaco.
