FireShot Screen Capture #445 - 'Films de force majeure_ LES CHANTS D'À CÔTÉ - Flavie Pinatel I Films en production' - www_films-de-force-majeure_com_index_php_id=30&no_ca
On May 3rd the Marseille-based director Flavie Pinatel completed a week’s shoot for her new documentary, “Les chants d’à côté”.
Her subject is the Maladrerie, a district of Aubervilliers (Seine-Saint-Denis), once almost a slum but redesigned by architect Renée Gailhoustet in 1970-1980 as an urban utopia, attempting to create a different concept of social housing with a real social mix.
Flavie Pinatel wants to show this labyrinthine neighbourhood and the people who live there from a particular angle, somewhere between a documentary and a musical comedy, hoping to “tap into the lifeblood of the area and question the utopia of living together in these difficult urban neighbourhoods.”
Produced by a Marseilles company, Les Films de Force Majeure, in co-production with Périscope and Catalogue du Sensible, “Les chants d’à côté” has been pre-purchased by France Télévisions and is being financed, among others, by the PACA region, the CNC and the Ministry of Culture and Communication.
Flavie Pinatel’s previous short, “Ramallah”, about the people living in the capital of Palestine, was selected for PriMed 2014.
