Written on the walls of La Clef, a collective run cinema in Paris:
“What consoles me, anyway, is knowing that there is always somewhere in the world… a little monotonous noise… and this noise is that of a projector projecting a film. Our duty is that this noise never stops.”
– Jean-Luc Godard
Members of La Clef have selected DERNIER MAQUIS by Rabah Ameur-Zaïmeche to screen in New York as a jumping off point to discuss their work. RAZ’s film is about an industrial pallet and truck repair shop, where the largely African and Arab immigrant workers push back against the owner, played by RAZ himself.
