La Fugue By Jean-Bernard Marlin (France, 2013, 21 min.)
With Adel Bencherif, Médina Yalaoui
Lakdar, an educator at a home for juvenile delinquents in Marseille, accompanies his young protégé, Sabrina, to court, where she is on trial for an old case. He leaves confident that their efforts will be rewarded.
Shéhérazade By Jean-Bernard Marlin (France, 2018, 1:49)
With Dylan Robert, Kenza Fortas
Zachary, 17, just got out of prison. Rejected by his mother, he hangs out in the working-class neighborhoods of Marseille. That’s where he meets Shéhérazade… and his life takes an unexpected turn.
This quasi-documentary shines for its accuracy and the sensitivity of its non-professional actors. A masterpiece not to be missed.
