-- Dir. Floriane Devigne - 77min - 2023 - France --
In so-called "peripheral" France, where public services are disappearing or being dematerialised according to a purely utilitarian logic, I use the disappearance of the public telephone as a symbol. This road-movie in search of these twentieth-century ruins is built around telephone conversations, archives and chance encounters. It's also a journey through time. I'm looking for traces of abandoned collective projects, displaced political horizons and unfulfilled promises of emancipation. From the disappearance of the telephone booth to the advent of the "medical booth", I question what we call "progress".
