IFFR Talks w/ Gyz La Rivière - 24th January 2019

Thomas Fonville in conversation with Giz La Rivière about the movie “New Neapolis”.

"Following his futuristic Rotterdam 2040, in New Neapolis Gyz La Rivière presents his home city and its counterparts as the vanguard of a new, sexy Europe. His cinematic manifesto, built up of rhythmically edited archive footage, delves into the present and past of the four cities, exposing countless cross-connections. His aim is to create a positive impression – an antidote to hollow populism – with a focus on the individual residents who make these cities what they are."
