Actua 1

Shot in the midst of May ’68, Actua 1 delves into the heart of the student protests in Paris. With footage shot in 16mm by students, and in 35mm by Garrel himself, the film captures the revolutionary energy of a generation that defied the system. Lost for nearly half a century and restored in 2014, it stands as a rare testament to both the turmoil of the time and the prodigious, poetic talent of the French filmmaker.
