Short films and roundtable discussion with French filmmakers Sylvain George, Stéphane Elmadjian and Soufiane Adel, moderated by Charles Burnett
Films in French with English subtitles; discussion in French and English with translation
The Ghett-Out Film Festival coming to New York (at BAM) and Boston will reveal independent French talents emerging on the outskirts of the classic system in France. Mostly self-educated, from diverse cultural backgrounds and often deprived neighborhoods, these filmmakers are the pioneers of an underground Nouvelle Vague. Three young filmmakers present short films and converse about their work with U.S. filmmaker Charles Burnett and Phil Watts.
