Projection : Quartier mineur
Thibaud Croisy
Quartier mineur is a unique, immersive look inside a prison wing where thirty juvenile inmates are incarcerated. From long hallways to cramped interview rooms, the film follows educators from the Judicial Youth Protection Service—officials from the Ministry of Justice who support the juveniles throughout their incarceration. Through regular interactions, these professionals strive to build relationships with the young people, seek to understand their backgrounds, and work with them to develop a reintegration plan likely to be approved by their judge.
At the L’Escurial cinema (11 boulevard de Port-Royal – Paris 13th arrondissement), Monday, October 5, 2026, at 7:30 p.m.
