2013 - France - Couleur - 100'
In Belgium, type 3 teaching groups together children judged unadjusted to the classical school system because of behavioural difficulties. Founded in 1973 in La Louvière as a self-managing project for non-repressive education, the Snark campus welcomes around thirty of those children, housed in its boarding school building. Filmed over a full school year, this keyhole view zooms in on the youths’ antisocial behavior and the staff’s difficult balancing act. Students/staff relationships wear to a frazzle. The need for repair is constant. All counseling is fraught with tension which can explode anytime.
