Détours-Shortcuts

Mathilde Jauvin & José Luis Aguilera / Colombia – France

Between France and Colombia, between Clichy-sous-Bois and Ciudad Bolívar, between two border territories, marked by migration and displacement, two groups of adolescents take the floor to talk about their city, tell their experiences, their adventures and your hopes. TO
through his images, a dialogue between realities, memories and futures is built little by little.
Each group of young people and each character have their French or Colombian duo as their interlocutor. In the manner of a letter, the fruits of the workshops, in the form of small videos made by them, are sent to the other group. Physically distant but symbolically close. A pretext to talk about and make talk to a generation that lives in two cities whose peripheries are experiencing a new era today. The presence of a distant and "exotic" group allows a recipient to whom the link with the territory is more freely told. To be narrated in front of and behind the camera since we know that there is someone in another distant place who takes up the floor again. Or how to find the similar in the middle of a world so unknown and different.
