ceci n'est pas un film français

A funny, political and collective fable where documentary and fiction intertwine to question who has the right to tell stories — and how.

Franco-Beninese actor Tom Adjibi is tired of playing characters reduced to his skin colour. Together with other racialised people, he sets out to invent another way of telling their stories. But his project soon unravels. Playing a naïve director, he blurs documentary and fiction. With a nod to Magritte, Ceci n’est pas un film français turns representation, power and colonial legacy into a sharp, fiercely funny political fable.
