Docufy: Claire Simon on Elementary ('Apprendre')

DOCUFY
-
Rediscovering childhood through Claire Simon’s lens 👁️‍🗨️🎈

In her latest documentary, Elementary, Claire Simon returns to explore the heart of childhood—a theme she touched upon in her film Récréations. ⚽

Premiered at the Cannes Film Festival 2024 in a Special Screening, Elementary now heads to DOK Leipzig, screening on October 31, November 2, and 3. 🌟

Set in the Makarenko public elementary school in the Parisian suburbs, this film captures the delicate bond between students and teachers. Through persistence, compassion, and encouragement, the children are guided not only as learners but as young people discovering their own humanity.
