This volume offers new insights into the works of emerging and well-established Francophone directors, who all chose to place youth at the heart of their narrative and aesthetic concerns.
Youth has been represented on screen for decades and has informed many directors'' visual, narrative and social perspectives, but there has not been a body of work addressing the richness and complexity of this topic in a French and Francophone context. This volume offers new insights into the works of emerging and well-established directors alike, who all chose to place youth at the heart of their narrative and aesthetic concerns.
Showing how the topic of ''youth'' has inspired filmmakers to explore and reinvent common tropes associated with young people, the book also addresses how the representation of youth can be used to mirror the tensions - political, social, religious, economic or cultural - that agitate a society at a given time in its history.
