Documentary

Directed by Sophie Comtet Kouyaté

This film explores the neighborhoods along the canal alongside local residents, an architect, and a student of architecture and urban planning. It offers an intimate look at the evolution of these areas with the 2024 Olympic Games on the horizon. The film reveals the scale of the construction projects and the inner workings of creating a new neighborhood and urban layout, while highlighting the stakes involved in upcoming events—and, above all, the impact on the residents who engaged directly with the architects, urban planners, and organizers behind these major developments. It is the third installment in the documentary series Canal Saint-Denis, la bascule d’un paysage (Canal Saint-Denis: A Landscape in Transition), in production since 2018.
