In a beautiful act of collective creation, Eric Baudelaire shares the director’s chair with twenty schoolchildren in Un film dramatique. The result? A kaleidoscope of spontaneous self-representation, an ode to both subjectivity and collaboration movingly exploring the possibilities of cinema.

Eric Baudelaire’s rich and speculative essay film is a moving meditation on nationhood, which also traces the emergence of an unlikely friendship. With echoes of Chris Marker’s Letter from Siberia, this 2014 festival hit explores the unexplorable through a chain of correspondence.
