Pauline Julien: Femme pays(fr)

A woman loses her voice, like a country that loses her at the same time. Pauline Julien, flamboyant singer, true poetic and political icon, has left many imprints on us. We follow her as much in her triumphs on stage, in her stance for the emancipation of the country of Quebec, as in moments of absolute intimacy with her children, but above all, at the heart of her incandescent love story with Gérald Godin. The film catches her at the moment she learns the diagnosis of degenerative aphasia that will rob her of her speech. We retrace the thread of a life made of light, work, love and heartbreak. Pauline dances, Pauline loves, Pauline yells, Pauline fucks, Pauline burns. Pauline lives. Pauline dies. What remains of her?

It was one of the great crimes of the Second World War: from 1941 to 1944, a total of 872 days, the siege and starvation of Leningrad by the German Wehrmacht on Hitler's orders lasted. Over a million people fell victim to the blockade, most of them dying of hunger. Countless of these starving people wrote diaries with the last of their strength, and cameramen filmed in the paralyzed city. Evidence from the hell of the siege, many of the film recordings, but above all the written memories on which this documentary on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the liberation is based, remained under lock and key after the war. The voices of those who had suffered through this terrible time should not be heard by anyone, because they did not fit the pathos of the Leningrad heroic song that was officially sung. Most of the recordings come from women. The writers feared neither the enemy nor the Communist Party or Stalin, who often proved incompetent in providing for the population.

2022-11-09

The former French colonies in Central and West Africa have been independent since 1960, but most of these countries still use the currency of the former oppressor: the CFA franc. It was linked to the French franc when it was introduced, so the national bank in Paris controlled monetary policy. Now the currency has a fixed exchange rate with the euro. The link with the European currency strongly influences the monetary policy of CFA countries. And that means the value of the CFA franc is defined by political decisions taken elsewhere, rather than by the domestic economy.
