A short and subjective anthology of emancipation on film. Skipping school, hijacking goods, strikes, uprisings, acts of resistance and moral transgressions, whether they be intimate upheavals or collective protests, about thirty films will show how films have often acted along, worked towards and lit up the path to disobedience, of any kind.
From Ernst Lubitsch (I Don’t Want to Be a Man, 1918) to Kelly Reichardt (Night Moves, 2013), with Jean Vigo, René Vautier, Sidney Lumet, Med Hondo, Carole Roussopoulos, Jean-Luc Godard, Youssef Chahine, Jean Genet, Glauber Rocha, Jamie Babbit and Binka Zhelyazkova…
