Tant que les murs tiennent

Tant que les murs tiennent (2016)

Documentary

Rhodiacéta 2014, a forgotten industrial site at the entrance to a city. Abandoned for almost 30 years, it has become the clandestine theater for generations of taggers, photographers, and other Argonauts who haunt the place. Drawing on his social and activist journey, the film shows and gives voice to what resists in this monumental structure slated for demolition. From yesterday to today, it explores occupation: that of the great strike of 1967 which led to the formation of the Medvedkine group, then, after the closure of the spinning mill in 1981, that of a diverse and clandestine population benefiting from a "free space" there, and finally, that of the walls on which constantly renewed paintings are displayed. We will paint a portrait of this emblematic wasteland, through these “people from the inside”, these people of today but also with those who were close to it, who lived there, who worked there and who, through memory, still live there.
