Saint-Jean-de-la-Forêt 2025

Directed by Valérie Massadian

Filmmakers and artists from around the world have formed Some Strings, a collection of original filmic gestures that originated in Palestine, where poet and professor Refaat Alareer was targeted by Israeli strikes. In his latest poem, “If I Must Die,” he asks those who must live to create a kite, an object of resistance. A selection of short films from this project will introduce the screenings throughout the festival.
