Why do directors put themselves at the service of social justice?
Positive cinema is positioned as a privileged platform to denounce, alert, and awaken consciences. What are the reasons that new filmmakers, and more experienced filmmakers, bring to bear on projects that awaken our view of the world in which we live? And what difficulties do they face? Directors from different generations share their experience here.
Tarquin Ramsay, director
Nathan Ambrosioni, director, scriptwriter, editor
Q & A with future generations: why do future generations put themselves at the service of social justice?
Positive cinema works in the interest of future generations, to denounce the social injustice of its time and hope to leave them a better future. It is therefore essential to turn to these future generations, to know how they perceive this cinema, how they receive the message that filmmakers are trying to convey, and what their expectations and questions are.

Questions from the audience
Moderator: Pierre Zeni, CANAL +
+ 14h00 - 14h40: CAN SOCIAL CINEMA BE POPULAR?
How to enable him to reach the largest audience?
Cinema in the service of social justice, often considered as belonging to the cinema of author, is democratized. He does not identify himself only with dramas or documentaries, he shows with sincerity the destinies of every day, he denounces and entertains. It can be treated with gravity but also with humor. Social cinema and popular cinema are not irreconcilable. But should we always exacerbate feelings to please the public? How to allow the social cinema, sometimes still far from the commercial circuits, to find its public? How to make the public aware of this socially positive cinema?

Has the socially positive cinema already had a real impact on society?
Cinema serving social justice is positioned as a vector of values and norms. From Charlie Chaplin's works to those of Ken Loach and the Dardenne Brothers, social cinema contributes to the evolution of manners, mentalities and opinions. The filmmakers direct the emotions in favor of the system of ideas they want to defend, and the spectator assimilates without realizing the morals and conclusions that the films show. How to observe this influence on the evolution of our society?
