The Graduation

The daily life of the Parisian cinema school, la Femis, entry into which can be summed up as follows: “Everyone’s equal, but only the best get in.” Through the admission process, the hard work all year and the graduation exams, a director who has practiced the high art of observing people in fiction and documentary making alike, establishes a portrait of our relationship to excellency in Art, showing how a profession chooses its inheritors. In a place of culture where generations intermingle, how do professionals determine who will become their successors?
