LÈV LA TÈT DANN FÉNWAR (IN THE BILLOWING NIGHT)

Jean-René is a retired workman who has lived in Mâcon, France, since emigrating from Réunion Island at the age of 17. Today, for the first time ever, he shares his story with his daughter. Moving between a dream world and reality, Jean-René’s story brings to light the island’s painful French colonial past and reflections on hybrid identities.

Film will also be available on the BFI Player throughout the 10 days of the festival.
