Nationale curator/founder May Barruel and Salomée Souag, whose dreamy canvases are currently on view at the gallery, recently discussed their upbringings on opposite sides of the Franco-Swiss border. Then, the '95 crime drama La Haine came up, and the duo discovered that its still-relevant themes of police brutality, racism, pissed-off youth, and social commotion had been influential on their respective work. Released amid France's fracture sociale, the flick follows the aftermath of a young man's brutalization at the hands of the police. When riots erupt, a group of friends grows increasingly angrier at the circumstances of their own marginalization. This screening also serves as a celebration of Souag's debut exhibition at Nationale, so make sure to catch the show before it closes on May 28.
