🎦DETAILS:
‘TO THE FOUR WINDS’ is entitled ‘LIBRE’ in French, meaning ‘free’. This remarkable documentary is unafraid to boldly declare its humanitarianism regarding the refugee crisis around France (which is why we at Lost in Frenchlation have presented it alongside Serve the City Paris, a local relief collective). TO THE FOUR WINDS is gripping, on both a political and a personal level. Cédric Herrou, the film’s subject, has been aiding refugees since 2015 and is now being accused of a ‘solidarity offense’…The film is necessary and relevant to understanding the legal complexities of the immigration crisis.
•THE MOVIE:
In the Roya valley located between France and Italy, thousands of migrants try to cross the border each month in search for a better life. Cédric Herrou, a local farmer, has been welcoming migrants at his home since the beginning of the crisis. With the help of friends and volunteers, he challenges French immigration policies. Filmed over two years by Michel Toesca, Cédric will do anything to help these people, even risk his own freedom. – Synopsis

Lost in Frenchlation and Ciné-Balade have teamed up to bring you this cinema-themed experience where you’ll be taken on a walk through cinema history down the iconic Champs-Élysées. Almost sixty years ago, Jean Seberg and Jean-Paul Belmondo became famous by walking down the same avenue in “Breathless” by Jean-Luc Godard – a film that changed the way of making movies. With this movie tour, we will go back in time, seeking the locations of the film, and talking about French and American movies which immortalized the avenue in cinema.

‘Le Temps des Forêts’ documentary explores one of France and the world’s most important environmental problems, winning the Grand Prix at the Locarno festival this year for doing it so well! The director takes us on a trip to central France, Burgundy and the Vosges Mountains, telling an eye-opening story of tree deserts, monoculture, pesticides, profitability, and social injustice. This screening will be preceded by an introduction from the association Coeur de Forêt ❤️🌳
• THE MOVIE:
From Limousin to Landes, from Morvan to Vosges, French forests are changing. These symbols of authentic and preserved nature are undergoing an unprecedented industrialization phase. Heavy mechanization, monoculture, fertilizers and pesticides: the handling of forests is rapidly following that of intensive farming. Le Temps des forêts is a journey to the heart of industrial forestry and its alternatives. Living forest or green desert: today’s choices will create tomorrow’s landscape.
These pictures are not from faraway Canada or China, they are from our neighbouring country, France. This film is a discovery because it tells a story about the forest we have not yet heard and seen. – Brigitte Häring, Locarno Film Festival
