Flavie Pinatel

As a portrait of a housing project with astonishing shapes (La Maladrerie near Paris), SONGS NEXT DOOR by Flavie Pinatel is a documentary of a different kind, since the protagonists express themselves through songs and not through speech. Implicitly, Flavie describes poetically how people live together in France in 2016.

Through funny, serious or unusual portraits of Ramallah inhabitants, Flavie Pinatel attempts, with this film, to get this city out of its tragedy and reveal it as a beating heart, a 21st century city.
