Popular Front(s) is a daily rendez-vous, every evening at 7:30pm, for a screening of a recent film – in some cases a world premiere – followed by a meeting with the director and a guest personality to provide festival-goers with food for thought on the form, the thinking behind the film and the relationship between cinema and our capacity for action.
With the conviction that cinema makes us clear-sighted, each year Popular Front(s) explores a part of our contemporary reality, our questioning, through films that bear witness to the activism of citizens and the filmmakers who capture them. This year, the selection of films reflects the questioning shared by many filmmakers and festival guests on our ability to take action. Each film as a possible answer to the question: what horizon, in the absence of perspective?
