This is Not a French Film
Synopsis
Tom, a goofy yet driven actor, starts filming a video journal to share his experience as a racialised performer in Belgium. Armed with good intentions yet a clumsy approach, he hires a slightly confused video crew, and sets out to interview fellow non-white actors. However, he is quickly confronted with the ingenuity of his premise and the awkwardness of his style, by the very cast he ensembled.
Eager to take things further, he gathers the same people in the south of France to write their dream film together. But even in this beautiful surroundings, tensions persist as their ambitions diverge, putting at stake the fragile unity Tom is trying to mold.
