Yannick Bellon

Documentary

A prelude to CHILDREN OF CHAOS, this documentary is a “carnet de notes” or “notebook,” filmed at the Théâtre du Fil, following the daily work of a social and artistic project that engages young “delinquents” with theater as they prepare to reintegrate into the community. Among those featured are Mona and Danièle, whose experiences inspire Bellon in shaping the character of Marie, played by Emmanuelle Béart, in her companion film.
