Marche commune
Sylvain L’Espérance / Canada / 2025 / 86′
Film-collage, Marche commune dives into 125 years of cinema to highlight a humanity in disarray, vacillating, searching, stumbling, misdirecting, recovering. Taking the form of a vast nervous system in which each person’s movements connect to those of others, the film’s poetic experience becomes political, recreating the broken bonds between human beings and the world.
