Documentaire sonore "Celles du foot"

"For this documentary work with the Rive Gauche Sports Section, I wanted to focus on adolescence and question the construction of oneself through relationships with others. These players are all students at the Cité scolaire Rive Gauche in the neighborhood du Mirail in Toulouse and, for the most part, they live in the high school boarding school.
Aged 15 to 20, they train from Monday to Thursday, after school, at the high school with the section and join their respective clubs on Friday, with which they play a match on the weekend.

They are therefore truly passionate people who devote their time and energy to this sport, to their team. The year before I met them, they were crowned French academic champions in futsal and 7-a-side football. Despite the changes in players (those who arrive from college and those who leave high school after their baccalaureate) it was certain that the The desire to keep these titles would push them into a certain intensity and strong self-improvement.

So I decided to share and record several moments with them, during training or in competition. Through the daily construction of the team, the prejudices they may suffer as footballers, the solidarity or the conflicts that this generates, I tried to give a point of view on this intense period that is the 'adolescence."
