When I was little, I lived in a social housing flat that didn’t meet safety standards. One evening in June 2008, as I was watching television in the living room, I heard screaming in the stairwell. I went out to have a look.

Marine Mabila studied law before turning to film. She trained at the Lussas Documentary School, where she made Histoire de mon pays d’enfance, a film about growing up on a council estate, which was selected for the Grand Angle section of Côté Court. Following her studies, she worked as a programming assistant for the
Premiers Plans Festival and then for the Silhouette Festival. At the same time, she
devoted herself to her own projects, in particular writing a short fiction film in which she continued to question the links between politics and territory.
