To celebrate Fruit of My Past, Souag's debut exhibition at Nationale, they're honored to collaborate with the Hollywood Theatre for this special screening. They immediately chanted in unison, " Jusqu'ici tout va bien." and soon realized how impactful the film had been for them, especially how influential it had been on Souag's work. Nationale's curator May Barruel and artist Salomée Souag were recently discussing their upbringing on opposite sides of the Franco-Swiss border when LA HAINE came up. Their bristling resentment at their own marginalization slowly simmers until it reaches a climactic boiling point. The film follows three friends, Vinz (Vincent Cassel), Saïd (Saïd Taghmaoui) and Hubert (Hubert Koundé), for 24 hours after the riots. When a young man named Abdel is arrested and beaten unconscious by police, a riot erupts in the housing projects outside of Paris. Nationale and Salomée Souag present Mathieu Kassovitz' 1995 cult film.
