En partenariat avec Images en Bibliothèques, l’Institut français déploie à l’international le Mois du film documentaire à travers une sélection de documentaires réunie autour de la thématique « Petite Planète ». La sélection « Planète sensible » explore l’intimité et la sensibilité partagées par l’image de la caméra malgré la distance qui nous sépare les uns des autres. Elle propose deux focus sur des documentaristes majeurs français : Nicolas Philibert avec sa trilogie et Nicolas Peduzzi avec ses deux derniers films, GHOST SONG et ETAT LIMITE

The Adamant is a unique day care centre : it is a floating structure. Located on the Seine in the heart of Paris, it welcomes adults suffering from mental disorders, offering them care that grounds them in time and space, and helps them to recover or keep up their spirits. The team running it is one of those that try to resist the deterioration and dehumanization of psychiatry as best it can. The film invites us to board it and meet the patients and caregivers who invent its life day to day.

Averroès and Rosa Parks: two units of the Esquirol Hospital, which - like the Adamant - are part of the Paris Central Psychiatric Group. From individual interviews to «carer-patient» meetings, the filmmaker focuses on showing a form of psychiatry that continually strives to make room for and rehabilitate the patients’ words. Little by little, each one eases open the door to their world. Within an increasingly worn-out health system, how can the forsaken be given a place among others.
