Presentation

Territoires cinématographiques is a space for dialogue between live performance and cinema, devised in conjunction with Avignon's Utopia cinemas. It's a daily programme of film screenings after which the public can meet and talk with directors, choreographers, filmmakers, researchers and critics invited to the Festival d'Avignon. It's a space designed to explore the intimate relationships that these speakers maintain between disciplines and the world. It's a space where we can take a closer look, from the small to the large, at the themes that are brought to life on stage, on screen and under the plane trees of the Café des idées.

The film Inside Kabul is an animated documentary that follows the destinies of two young Afghan women, from the time Kabul is taken over by the Taliban to the summer of 2021. How do you grow up and project yourself into the future when you're 20? For Raha and Marwa, these questions are particularly acute.

The film is based on rare audio documents collected and produced as a podcast by Caroline Gillet, then adapted into animation by Denis Walgenwitz and Luciano Lepinay. Afghan artist Kubra Khademi is the film's graphic author.

Screening followed by a meeting with Caroline Gillet
Moderated by Oriane Jeancourt Galignani from Transfuge magazine
