This year’s edition features special programmes dedicated to African filmmakers, the searingly political docs produced by the 60s underground New York scene, and a retrospective of Catalonian director José Luis Guerin’s works. Whether it’s to see Jazz legend Charles Mingus getting unceremoniously evicted from his apartment (Thomas Reichman’s ‘Mingus in Greenwich Village’) or to witness the plight of Iranian migrants holed up in a dingy Athenian house (Kaveh Bakhtiari’s ‘L’escale’), come for the opportunity to catch rare films of startling beauty and intensity - new and old alike. For the lazy and the web-savvy, the organisers have uploaded a choice selection of featured films to their website.
Paris is at the epicentre of the festival, and venues throughout the city will be hosting screenings. Click here for more information.
