  • Workshop report: "Towards the retrieval and restoration of "Ballade aux sources": a collaborative approach" with Clément Lafite (Università degli Studi di Udine), Alessandro Russo (Università degli Studi di Padua), Annabelle Aventurin (film archivist and historian)

BALLADE AUX SOURCES chronicles the journey of an African émigré living in Paris through several North African countries shortly after they gain independence. Off-screen reflections on identity and belonging are interwoven with observations of passing people and landscapes. The restoration of this work is a prime example of collaboration amongst the film archive community.
