In Marseilles, for over 30 years, the street has been disappearing behind the grilles and sliding gates of enclosed housing estates. In some cases, more than half the ground surface is fenced off; through-roads are blocked, and residents’ movements impeded – between resignation and territorial inevitability.
In Gaspard Hirschi’s film Je suis la nuit en plein midi, two ubiquitous characters raise the realities of urban fragmentation, leading to isolation, withdrawal and self-involvement.
A knight and a pizza delivery boy, the modern-day Don Quixote and Sancho Pança, decide to relive Don Quixote’s great crossing… this time, without leaving Marseille.
Je suis la nuit en plein midi, by Gaspard Hirschi (1h23).
Preview in Marseille, echoing the “Don Quichotte” exhibition, followed by a discussion with the film crew, Valérie Gerbaud, CMCA General Delegate and the curators of the “Don Quichotte. Histoire de fou, histoire d’en rire”, Aude Fanlo and Helia Paukner.
As part of PriMed, the Mediterranean documentary film festival, and in collaboration with Théâtre du Centaure.
