Gentleman Rissient

Mamad, a sexagenarian filmmaker and cinephile of Iranian origin, interviews Thomas, 12, a huge film fan from Paris who already holds some strong opinions. A meeting between two residents and defenders of planet cinema.

The Cinémathèque de Lausanne has three screenings a day: 9pm, 6.30pm and 3pm. The 3pm slot draws in a few regulars who never speak to one another. At least not until the filmmaker arrives.
