“In France, they actually say “films du banlieue”, or films about the suburbs, about anything that’s set there, as if it were some kind of new genre. No – there are many different stories to tell there. We wanted to show [in Gagarin] that there are strong communities; it’s just that sometimes they live in poor conditions, in buildings in need of renovation. Kids who live there sometimes don’t feel welcome outside.”

    GAGARINE

    FANNY LIATARD, JÉRÉMY TROUILH France, 2020

    An enchanting debut from French duo Fanny Liatard and Jérémy Trouilh, this magic realist fable is a eulogy to the places we call home and an ode to the power of imagination. A coming-of-age gem bursting with wide-eyed, celestial wonder, Gagarine has its feet on the ground but its heart in the stars.
