Declaration

film director

“Below the Parisian facade of historic monuments, touristic attractions, and romantic images, the ground is burning. [...]. This explosive situation is ignored by the majority of French, who prefer looking elsewhere over looking into problems that tear apart French society. This film calls for a change in France. It urges the French to leave behind old traditions, to look at fellow-citizens they don’t want to see, and to finally accept them as part of French society. Where Is the War is a prescient film. While it ends on the ‘Charlie Hebdo’ attacks of January 2015, it wasn’t made ‘looking back’ to events. I had already started shooting the film in May 2012, three years before the attacks that surprised France and the world. This is the first part of a trilogy. The second part Attack is in progress and the third part Christelle will be shot in 2017.”
