yann beauvais - d'un couvre-feu (2006)

This film is based on several sequences recorded here and there last November, 2005. What was at stake was to redistribute these sequences by reframing while re-shooting them and by editing in such way as to see again or differently those sequences. Rap beats as much as Rio’s favella funk, contribute to give another environment to these by affirming the fact that there are sound produced by blacks, as much as sounds made in the suburb and in the favelas. These songs smash through the official voiceover of the news, they permit us to consider other points of view that the rioters had already shown in questioning the white colonizer.
