France 2019. Director: Hind Meddeb, Thim Naccache. Documentary film. 88 mins. DCP. Original language version with English subtitles.
PARIS STALINGRAD
In the summer of 2016, the young Souleymane lives with numerous other refugees from Africa and Afghanistan in the area around the Parisian metro station Stalingrad. The documentary focuses on people fighting for a dignified life on the fringes of the public eye and is supplemented by commentaries by the Sudanese protagonist.
26. Africa Alive Festival
The 26th edition of the Africa Alive Festival presents a broad spectrum of documentaries, feature films and short films from the African continent at our cinema. At other venues there will be concerts, readings, a panel discussion and a children’s programme.
In light of current events, this year the festival focuses on Sudan, a country where film culture was suppressed for many years and has only recently begun to develop again. In addition to current films, we will screen two historical short film programmes and films by pioneer Gadallah Gubara. We are excited to be able to welcome Talal Afifi (curator and festival director) and actors of YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY from Sudan, as well as Mamadou Dia from Senegal, who will present BAAMUM NAFI. We are also looking forward to the French-Tunisian director Hind Meddeb, who will present her documentary film PARIS STALINGRAD in person at our cinema.
