“Les larmes de la Seine”

This is another stop motion animation from Piktura and very well done at that. I suspect that if you are reasonably familiar with Algeria’s revolt against French rule and the documentaries and fiction that have grown up around it, there may be a conversation embedded in the video, there for the parsing. For myself, lacking that context, this short (8:44) video is just very, very strange and weird. That’s a recommendation, of sorts…

Credits: 5th year students 3D short movie directed by Yanis BELAID, Eliott BENARD, Nicolas MAYEUR, Etienne MOULIN, Lisa VICENTE, Hadrien PINOT, Philippine SINGER and Alice LETAILLEUR.

“17 october 1961, “Algerian workers” get down the streets to manifest against the mandatory curfew imposed by the Police prefecture. “
