Dave Moreno

Preceding the presentation of Revoir Paris, Dave Moreno, will accompany 2 silent short films by 1910-1920’s French comic star Max Linder.

Three months after her life is forever changed by a mass shooting, Mia (the luminous Virginie Efira, winner of the 2023 César for Best Actress and a favorite of the SFFF, Madeleine Collins – SFFF 2022, An Impossible Love – SFFF 2019), still traumatized and remembering only fragments of what happened, decides to face her fears by returning to the scene of the attack. There she meets other survivors, including cynical banker Thomas (Benoît Magimel, Standing Tall - SFFF 2016), who was gravely injured, and teenager Félicia (Nastya Golubeva, filmmaker Leos Carax’s daughter), who lost both her parents.

Revoir Paris is a heartening meditation on grief, healing, love, and the importance of human connections forged in tragedy. The French title translates as “seeing Paris again,” and the film is as much about being back in Paris as it is about seeing Paris with fresh eyes after a life-altering experience. And indeed, in her quest for the truth, Mia will encounter a side of Paris she had no idea existed. An uplifting drama with a powerful ending.

The incident in the film is a fictional event inspired by the November 13, 2015 Bataclan concert hall attack that killed 90 people and injured 416, of which the director’s own brother is a survivor.
