The artistic documentary La Résidence follows the inhabitants of an international student residency in the Parisian suburb of Saint-Denis, to trace global young perspectives on the European metropole. Set within the unique architecture of the residence on the premises of the revolutionary Université Paris 8, the film traces the ideas, stories and identities forming the inhabitant’s perspectives of Paris. While the city's myth and postcard reputation attracted them, the romantic Paris seems far away.
Between observing documentary images and staged scenes, the film approaches this tension from the point of view of the residency. Its inhabitants find themselves in a temporary home between these realities, learn about themselves and the spaces they inhabit.
