In 2009 Karl Lagarfeld, wearing a yellow vest, promoted road safety with the slogan: " It's yellow, it's ugly, it doesn't go with anything, but it can save your life! " Almost 10 years later, in 2018, tens of thousands of people, and even a few hundred thousand, took up this same vest to dress up their anger, despair or revolt.
A symbol of both danger and protection, the yellow vest became the emblem of a population that perceived itself as invisible, or rather invisibilized, by the political, economic and cultural elites. But who were these invisibles who emerged from the masses to occupy the traffic circles? This is the question our guest Emmanuelle Reungoat, a political science researcher at Cepel, asked herself throughout the almost 18 months of the movement.
From this questioning came several scientific publications but also a documentary film she co-directed with Pierre-Olivier Gaumin. During these 60 minutes they show us the aftermath of the yellow vest, or to use their word " the imprint that revolt can leave on those who lived through it ". The film, entitled Des goûts de lutte, was co-produced by Les films d'ici méditerranée, CNRS, MSH and the University of Montpellier.
After an initial sold-out screening at the Diagonal, the film returns to Frontignan's Ciné Mistral this Thursday at 8:30pm, before embarking on a tour of the West of France in June and returning for a screening in Prades-le-lez in early September.
