Le Mois du doc : Projection-rencontre autour du film "Zou"

Claire Glorieux, a visual artist, offers a visual showcase for the story of Ahmad Shah. Through her paper cut-outs, she illustrates the meeting between two men, an Afghan and a Frenchman. The former was only supposed to stay 2 days with the latter; in the end, 2 years passed. A story full of humanity about exile and friendship.

"Zou tells the story of the journey of a man with one leg less who moves forward more intensely than an able-bodied man. The amputated leg, a phantom limb that he can still move in his mind, is the pivot of this story. At once a mark of the war that made him lose most of his family members and forced him to flee his country, at once a brake on his exodus making walking painful and more laborious than for any of his traveling companions, it is also the foothold for his integration into a new territory."

Duration of the screening: 56 min. The screening will be followed by a meeting with the director, Claire Glorieux.
