Kalès
Eine intime Innenperspektive des "Dschungel" von Calais, erzeugt durch eine Polyphonie aus Menschen, Geschichten und Atmosphären. Eine sinnliche Reise durch das Sozialleben und die Überlebensstrategien von MigrantInnen. Ein Film über Wind und Verzweiflung, Feuer und Solidarität, Hoffnung und Hölle: Durch die Teilnahme am Alltag der Flüchtlinge bei seinen vielen Besuchen im Verlauf der Existenz des "Dschungels", und oft mittels kooperativer Methoden (Bilder und Erzählungen sind teils von den Migranten produziert) entwirft Regisseur Laurent Van Lancker einen Film, der dies alles vereint.
An intimate and inside perspective of the "jungle" of Calais, evoked through a polyphony of men, tales and atmospheres. A sensory journey through the social life and survival strategies of migrants. A film of wind and despair, of fire and solidarity, of hope and hell. Sharing the daily life of migrants, on numerous visits during the entire duration of the "jungle", and often using a collaborative methodology (images and narrations partly produced by the migrants), the director Laurent Van Lancker proposes a film that is both.
