THE PARK
Le Park
Synopsis
A slow meandering camera in an abandoned amusement park in the heart of Casablanca. The film draws a portrait of the youth who frequent this place and exposes snapshots of their life, meticulously reframed and often inspired by images found on social networks.

Our take
Selected at the prestigious Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival, and later a prizewinner at Rotterdam, this is an experimental wander through an abandoned theme park (Casablanca’s Arab League Park) — intriguingly juxtaposing footage of children at play with their lives online.
