Screening of "Kabul-Laon, a One-Way Ticket" - Chemin des toiles

A Toast to Friendship. Synopsis: Between 2001 and 2014, 1,067 civilians were recruited by the French military in Afghanistan. Officially known as “locally recruited civilian personnel” (PCRL), they served as mediators between French military personnel and the local population. When France decided to withdraw its troops from the country, these civilians were left behind, becoming targets for the Taliban. Director: Olivier Bauer Ladybirds Films, Lalilulelo Productions - 2022 - 60 min --- Chemin des toiles: Since 2015, through the Chemins des toiles festival, Savoie et Haute-Savoie Biblio has established itself as a major player in documentary film in Savoie and Haute-Savoie, notably by promoting, throughout the month of November, film screenings and meetings between a filmmaker and library audiences. Through creative documentary film, viewers are invited to open themselves up to the unique journeys of men and women—from here and elsewhere— to share in their joys and struggles, their strengths and weaknesses, and to accompany them throughout the screening—and even long afterward—as they can leave a lasting impression on us. “Chemins des toiles” features a main selection of 7 films and a supplementary selection of 7 films. For this 11th edition, of the 73 scheduled screenings, 43 will take place in the presence of the director or a contributor to the film (editor, technician, producer, lead actor, etc.), allowing for rich discussions and fascinating exchanges. The promise of wonderful discoveries!
