A Dramatic Film

Artist and filmmaker Eric Baudelaire spent four years interacting with the pupils of a film class at a secondary school in the Parisian suburb of SaintDenis Keeping himself on the sidelines he gives way to the children to express their thoughts and dreams Their remarks are intuitive inquisitive yet passionate and surprisingly mature concerning rocky and complicated issues ranging from racism immigration and identity all the way to the possibilities of film as a medium As time flows almost unnoticed it is evident that these children have not only become the codirectors of this film but also the heroes of their own lives
