Presentation

Territoires cinématographiques is a space for dialogue between the performing arts and cinema, created in collaboration with Avignon's Utopia cinemas. It's a daily gathering of film screenings, at the end of which the public meets and exchanges with theater artists, choreographers, filmmakers, activists, critics and journalists invited to the Festival d'Avignon. It's a space designed to explore the intimate relationships these guests maintain between disciplines and with the world. It's a place where we can take a closer look, both large and small, at the themes brought to the stage, the territories of the guest language, and under the plane trees of the Café des idées.

By Rithy Panh // France - Cambodge // 2003 // 1h41

Rithy Panh undertook a lengthy investigation of the few survivors of Pol Pot's Cambodian regime, as well as their executioners. A confrontation between the desire of the survivors to understand and the words of the jailers, dazed by reliving the horror to which they contributed.

Screening followed by a discussion with Lorraine de Sagazan.
Moderated by Hugues Le Tanneur, journalist from Transfuge magazine.
