Alejandra Riera with neighbourhood users and residents.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Fontbarlettes quarter is part of the Valence-le-Haut complex, known as a coherent new city project in the 1960\u2019s, though ultimately the scheme remained unfinished. The patrons, noting a stigmatisation of the neighbourhood, wanted to give the locals a voice, understand how they appropriated the space and their perception of a bigger \u201coutside\u201d likely to invite different interpretation.
\nAlejandra Riera made several visits to Valence during which she spoke at length with neighbourhood residents, proposed meetings, projected films and organised communal \u201cactions\u201d in different places. With these residents she conceived the filming sessions for her \u201cfilm-document\u201d. The result is a film and a publication, thought and produced simultaneously, but which function in an autonomous and complementary manner.
\nThe film combines different images such as archives, text images and mises en sc\u00e8ne with the residents. In her practice, Alejandre Riera calls \u201cfilm-documents\u201d a singular manner not only of making films, but of \u201cexceeding\u201d them, that is to say, \u201cthinking of film-documents (\u2026) as outside the scope of film itself, which would constitute a document of its time, adding to its own space the more uncertain space of historical, temporal, affective discontinuities.\u201d
\nThe publication presents itself like an investigative report. It is composed of retrieved pages \u00ac\u2013 the first notes on conversations with the residents \u2013 accompanied by footnotes written by Alejandra Riera and image plates with captions inviting new thought for reflection.
\nThroughout the film and the report, in the dialogue between plates and text, sounds and images, witness accounts, comments and citations, multiple passages become visible or probable, beyond the separation established between the supposed centre and its periphery.<\/p>\n
