Distribution start SUBSTITUTE

SUBSTITUTE (Vikash Dhorasoo, Fred Poulet, F 2006). The World Cup 2006 from the perspective of the French national player Vikash Dhorasoo and the writer and musician Fred Poulet. Both shoot with a super-8 camera: the one his everyday experiences as an increasingly frustrated substitute player for the Équipe tricolore; the other everything that happens during his travels throughout Germany and inside the stadium at all the French games. Melancholy instead of euphoria, loneliness instead of "one-for-all-and-all-for-one" rhetoric, a tragic hero instead of a glorious athlete – SUBSTITUTE is the other docu-mentary soccer film. Playing from June 3–9 daily at Arsenal.
