FRANCE 24 English published this video item, entitled “Kourtrajmé gets its close-up: Grassroots cinema from the Paris suburbs” – below is their description.
In 1995 “La Haine” rocked French cinema to its core, and the shockwaves were felt across society, from artistic circles to the underprivileged suburbs it depicted. One bittersweet phrase from the film’s script sums up its dark sense of humour: “jusqu’ici tout va bien” (or “so far, so good”). That catchphrase is now the title of an exhibition in Paris which is showcasing the achievements of the Kourtrajmé collective which started in the suburbs at that time.
