Centro de Cultura Contemporanea de Barcelona. Screening and lecture. The outskirts as a conflict area.

CCCB. Rodrigo Llopis

GALERY



In this edition of Off Programme, we will once again dedicate a moment to reflect on the events that, in recent years, have affected the outskirts of some cities in France, where an unresolved social conflict exists which is triggered by situations that can probably be found in many cities in Europe.

The Off Programme has decided to give a voice to these teenagers through the projection of three short films from the Festival Génération Court, which provides support to young film makers from the outskirts to help them to tell their own stories. The session, which will count on the presence of the Director of the Festival, will also include the projection of the short film Sur les Rives, by Rodrigo Llopis and Cécile Sánchez, and the documentary Can Tunis, which offers the counterpoint of the reality of a historically marginal district in Barcelona. Expert observers of the reality existing in France and Barcelona will participate in a round table discussion to analyse the French specificities of a global problem.
