CONFINES DEHORS van Julien Goudichaud
Frankrijk – 2020 – 24'05'' – Documentaire

Publieksprijs op het Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival

In een Parijs dat na een van 's werelds grootste pandemieën is ontdaan van zijn bevolking, zijn auto's, zijn lawaai en zijn vervuiling, is er nog steeds een deel van de Franse bevolking dat geen andere keuze heeft dan zich te beperken tot het buitenleven. Sarah, Nelson en Katia, die tot nu toe als stadsgeesten werden beschouwd, stellen ons een realiteit voor die door de situatie wordt verergerd. Hoe blijf je overleven als de hele wereld is gestopt?

Deze film ontving €3500, geschonken door het Brussels Short Film Festival
