Premiere screening of the documentary « FINI DE RIRE ! »

Mocking those in power has become a risky sport in France. Over thirty years, the country’s most daring humorists on television and radio have been systematically neutralized, sidelined, censored, or even fired. In both public and private audiovisual media, the same mechanism repeats itself: satire is tolerated as long as it doesn’t bite. The moment it challenges power, the microphone is cut off.

From the Canal+ studios to the France Inter airwaves, via the corridors of France Télévisions, from Nicolas Sarkozy’s presidency to Emmanuel Macron’s, this documentary traces the mechanics of a silencing that reveals the true state of freedom of expression in French audiovisual media.

Join us for the premiere screening of this investigative film directed by Jean-Baptiste Rivoire, followed by a discussion with a surprise guest. A necessary dive into the backstage of censorship and self-censorship.
