Des nouvelles du Nord (2007)
Directed by Benoît Pilon
Origin Canada
Genres Documentary
Themes Documentary films about cities
Le documentaire débute alors que les travaux de la Baie James sont terminés depuis longtemps. Mais la ville de Radisson, créée artificiellement au début des années 1970 pour accueillir les travailleurs du chantier, existe toujours. Même que plusieurs de ses résidents, enracinés dans son sol gelé huit mois par année, y ont fondé des familles et soudé une communauté. Le documentariste Benoît Pilon est donc allé à la rencontre de ces gens du nord, afin de sonder les causes de leur amour pour ce coin de pays, qu'ils partagent avec les Cris de la réserve voisine de Chisasibi.

The proceedings of a Paris courtroom are the grist for this documentary. Drawn from over 200 appearances before the same female judge, the director chooses a dozen or so varied misdemeanor and civil hearings to highlight the subtle details of human behaviour. In the process he draws attention to issues of guilt, innocence, policing and ethnicity in France.

This documentary explores the emigration myth.

Alongside the southernmost urban centre in Africa, separating city from ocean, lays a very special strip of land. Set against the beautiful backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean on one side and Signal Hill on the other, the Sea Point Promenade – and the public swimming pools in its centre – forms a space unlike any in Cape Town. Once a bastion of Apartheid exclusivity, it is nowadays unique in its apparently easy mix of age, race, gender, religion, wealth status and sexual orientation. Somehow this space has become one where all South Africans feel they have a right to exist, and where the possibility of happiness in a divided world doesn't seem unfeasible. But what is the reality of those coming here? How do people see their past, their present in this space and their future in this country?
