Back From Mexico
Hello everybody,
well here I am back in France, after spending 10 beautiful days attending the great DocsDf, documentary film festival of Mexico city.
I am very grateful towards the French embassy which took care of my travelling fees, and even more to the fantastic organisation team, which organised the event in such a colourful and enthusiastic way. I had the opportunity to meet great documentary filmmakers such as Goran Radovanovic, Ricardo Macian, Mohammad Bennasian, Bishnu DEV HALDER, the excelent Laurel Chiten, etc etc etc. A great opportunity to talk about our craft, as documentary filmmakers, and to enjoy the experience of discovering other people's culture... And yes, Mexican food is excelent. Aaah, that Mole poblano in Don Alfonso Cafeteria...
Beside the discovery of one country through its main city, food, culture and sites, I was happy to talk to the people who really lives and fights there, thank to my friend Lupita Miranda. It really opened my eye on how little did I know about this country situation, and how strong the people must be to go on struggling for their rights, hoping to get one day a government that won't compromise, and will get rid of an established corruption system that prevents an incredible wealth this country has to spread toward the lower and poorest parts of the population.
Keep on the fight, and let's spread this awareness.
Thanks again to all over there.
Talk to you all soon.
