The Sahrawi, the region's indigenous people, have been fighting for a referendum on their independence for over fifty years.

9 pm: Film from France: “An Island and One Night” by the collective Les Pirates des Lentillères + Film Discussion

Around a fire, travelers and pirates recount their memories, their dreams, and their battles. From one language to another, from one story to the next, we hear the thunder of the storm and the rustling of leaves, the threatening siren and the mad dances, the clash of sabers and the chirping of birds. Until dawn, we wander the thousand and one paths of this imaginary but nevertheless real island. The film will be shown with a 16mm projector.
