Tu si... - Et Pourtant Ça Tourne

Tuesday, June 06 at 6:30 p.m. - Cinéma le Fogata
"La Misère est moins pénible au soleil" (Misery is less painful in the sun)
Documentary by and in the presence of director Pierre Savalli (Documentary Award at the Arte Mare 2022 Festival).
The homeless, witnesses and analysts, not mere subjects... to better understand the world around us, our city, our island, our society. What is a society? What is Corsica? Obviously, there are only partial answers to these questions, but it's precisely by multiplying the angles of approach that we'll be able to form the most accurate idea of what we are. What we want to tell is the story of Corsica as seen from the ground, through the eyes of those who live in plain sight, but who also witness our lives on a daily basis. Inverting views, playing with mirrors, putting things into perspective.
