Synopsis

The lock that gives way, a door that opens, the cries of joy that ring out: a condemned building has been freed. As simple as hello, the reappropriation that opens Christophe Coello's film is initially a moment of intense vitality. The jubilation of thwarting the plans of the real estate firm that had undertaken to empty the building of its inhabitants, the jubilation of giving back life to a bit of the dead city, the jubilation of taking over a building under the very nose of the property developers and to the relief of the remaining neighbors.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
