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.

Registrations are open for the next workshop (May 4th, to June 23rd, 2026)
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.
