Squat, la ville est à nous !

2011 · 94 min · Documentary

The lock that gives way, a door that opens, the cries of joy that ring out: a condemned building has been freed. As simple as hello, the reappropriation that opens Christophe Coello's film is initially a moment of intense vitality. The jubilation of thwarting the plans of the real estate firm that had undertaken to empty the building of its inhabitants, the jubilation of giving back life to a bit of the dead city, the jubilation of taking over a building under the very nose of the property developers and to the relief of the remaining neighbors.

With the energy of the dying, those in power apply themselves to reasserting the value of work – with force, if need be. But more and more workers have understood that, to truly value their work, they have to do without it. They also have to get rid of the society of consumption that goes along with it. It may not be easy, but it is certainly amusing. We present a panorama of a mass desertion destined to spread.

In this economic war, promised to us many years ago and which advances like bulldozer, does there still exist a surge of imagination offering resistance ? Ordered to choose between the breadcrumbs of precarious employment and the meager charity still offered by the system, some abandon the society of consumption to claim back their lives. “Neither exploitation nor handouts!” many of them exclaim. They’ve chosen another path, that of autonomy, of consciously choosing to undertake certain activities, and of uniting together with other like-minded people.
