Can cinema save the world? A screening and discussion in Paris on November 30

What can cinema do in the face of crises and the proliferation of images? The documentary Can Cinema Still Save the World? explores this question through the words of filmmakers and industry professionals. The Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles invites audiences to discover it at a screening followed by a discussion with Serge Nagels and Philippe Reynaert.

The two authors conducted interviews at the festivals in Liège and Carcassonne. Costa-Gavras, Maria de Medeiros, Robert Guédiguian and Stéphane Brizé are among the film’s contributors, with Déborah François providing the voice-over. They discuss politically engaged cinema, how films make certain realities visible, and the difficulties they can face in reaching audiences.
