	À l'ouest de Pluton - Version restaurée Next date : Wednesday June 19, 2024 at 18:00 (other dates) Casa d'Italia 2024 Cinema Myriam Verreault, Henry Bernadet / 2008 / Canada (Quebec) / 95 min / French Pierre-Olivier, Émilie, Steve and Nicolas, all aged 14 to 16, live in a Quebec City suburb and have the concerns you'd expect, from falling in love to finding friendship. One wild night, the group experiences something that changes how they see the world. Rough-edged, semi-improvisational and made on a shoestring, this coming-of-age film is strikingly authentic, charting the loss of illusion through a brilliant interweaving of the personal and the universal. Much like Larry Clark (Kids, Bully), À l'ouest de Pluton manages to nail the realities of adolescence in a way that knocks stereotypes sideways. A ground-breaking portrayal of a key period in life.

	À l'ouest de Pluton - Version restaurée Next date : Wednesday June 19, 2024 at 18:00 (other dates) Casa d'Italia 2024 Cinema Myriam Verreault, Henry Bernadet / 2008 / Canada (Quebec) / 95 min / French Pierre-Olivier, Émilie, Steve and Nicolas, all aged 14 to 16, live in a Quebec City suburb and have the concerns you'd expect, from falling in love to finding friendship. One wild night, the group experiences something that changes how they see the world. Rough-edged, semi-improvisational and made on a shoestring, this coming-of-age film is strikingly authentic, charting the loss of illusion through a brilliant interweaving of the personal and the universal. Much like Larry Clark (Kids, Bully), À l'ouest de Pluton manages to nail the realities of adolescence in a way that knocks stereotypes sideways. A ground-breaking portrayal of a key period in life.

Twelve resilient, determined and articulate women from disparate walks of life: lawyers, artists, housewives, activists, architects, and politicians stitch together the story of their homeland, of their dispossession, and of their unwavering determination that justice will prevail. Through their stories, the individual weaves into the collective, yet remaining distinctly personal. Twelve women, twelve life-spans and stories from Palestine; a land whose position was fixed on the map of the world, but is now embroidered on its face.

Under the voracious eye of the media, some fifty squatters set about developing an alternative project, which was gradually jeopardised by the municipal administration. Beyond the clichés conveyed, this documentary takes an inside look at the history of the squat, the reality of the squatters and their vision of the world.
