Synopsis

After losing the shelter of their makeshift squat in a fire, around one hundred Roma are temporarily parked in trailers on a lot provided by the city of Montreuil on the outskirts of Paris. Here they await acceptance in a rehousing programme, but nothing is less certain. Among them, Ancuta and her family live this uncertainty, day after day.

About : Hands-on documentary filmmaking

This intensive training, combined with the Hands-on Documentary editing course, allows participants to engage with the fundamentals of documentary filmmaking. After a brief period of technical initiation, analysis of reference works, scouting, and writing, each participant will move on to filming a short film on a common theme. The editing is carried out by an editing trainee under the supervision of professional editors. The goal is to understand the essential relationship between director and editor.
