About this Event

Directed by Boris Lojkine, 2024, 94 min.

In this urgent third feature from Boris Lojkine, the streets of Paris become the backdrop for a gripping portrait of survival and resilience. Souleymane’s Story follows a young Guinean immigrant (played by first-time actor Abou Sangaré in a remarkable performance) as he frantically bicycles from one food delivery to another, all while preparing for a pivotal asylum interview.

Filmed with concealed cameras and inspired by the stylistic realism of Cristian Mungiu’s 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, the film offers a visceral, street-level view of a city too often indifferent to the lives of its most vulnerable workers. What unfolds is a powerful, pulse-pounding, and deeply human account of determination in the face of an unforgiving system.

Winner of four César Awards, including Best Supporting Actress (Nina Meurisse), Best Male Revelation (Abou Sangaré), Best Original Screenplay, and Best Editing.

This screening is made possible by the generous support of Albertine Cinémathèque.
