Documentary Film Month – Film Screenings & Discussions: Tehachapi – and – The Boy

Every November, "Le Mois du Film Documentaire" (Documentary Film Month) invites the public to discover works that offer a sensitive, committed, and unique perspective on our world.

This year, the Jehanne Arnaud Media Library is joining this national event by presenting two films:

• TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, FROM 7 PM TO 9 PM: Screening of *Tehachapi* (2023), directed by JR—a deeply moving documentary that examines dignity, memory, and human connections within the prison system. The screening will be followed by a discussion with Nathalie Riera, whose experience facilitating writing workshops in prisons will offer a sensitive perspective on the film's themes.

• TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, FROM 6 PM TO 8 PM: Screening of *Le Garçon* (2024). This documentary explores the power of images through an unconventional investigation. Starting with an old photograph discovered by chance, the film traces the story of a life and reveals how an image can span time, bring forgotten narratives to light, and serve as the starting point for a genuine human inquiry.
Following the screening, a discussion with the audience will provide an opportunity to share the emotions evoked and experienced through this unique documentary lens.
