Raising Colors
Rendez-Vous with French Cinema 2019
February 28 - March 10, 2019
Actress Hélène Fillières’s second feature-film outing as a director, set at a training facility for the French Navy, captures a palpable electricity within one female trainee’s search for self.
Q&A with Hélène Fillières on March 3
Much to the chagrin of her pacifist family, Sorbonne-educated Laure Baer (Diane Rouxel) ends up taking the first job offer she receives: an administrative position in the French Navy. As training begins, Laure assumes her post supporting the austere and withdrawn Commander Rivière (Lambert Wilson), she is surprised by how resonant she finds the codes of honor and discipline that structure military life. When her curiosity is piqued by the possibility of trying out for special ops, she commits herself to the challenge despite sexist dismissals of her capabilities, and strives to prove herself to the Chief Training Officer (Alex Descas). The second feature-film outing by actress Hélène Fillières (Tied) as a director captures a palpable electricity within the formality of ceremony, inextricable from a search for self. U.S. Premiere
