MovieDocumentary
The Soul of Bossales is an immersion in the heart of popular Haitian culture whose spirituality and creativity have been forged by a surge of freedom and identity affirmation. Foukifoura, Édris, Charlotte or Ramoncite, “Bossales” characters with committed artistic and political acts, give us the gripping story of a very harsh reality: material and health precariousness, political violence, neo-colonialism.

Movie
Benedicta is a survivor of human trafficking from Nigeria, Mohamed left Guinea at the age of sixteen in the hope of a less precarious life, and Martha and Anibal fled political repression in Honduras. Fate led them to a small French town and the surrounding countryside, where they are now pursuing the same goal: to find their place in local society. The film tells the story of their daily lives, filled with obstacles and uncertainty, hope and disillusionment, solidarity and small victories.

MovieHistoryDocumentary
A group of people are standing along the platform of a railway station in La Ciotat, waiting for a train. One is seen coming, at some distance, and eventually stops at the platform. Doors of the railway-cars open and attendants help passengers off and on. Popular legend has it that, when this film was shown, the first-night audience fled the café in terror, fearing being run over by the "approaching" train. This legend has since been identified as promotional embellishment, though there is evidence to suggest that people were astounded at the capabilities of the Lumières' cinématographe.
