Zusammenfassung:This journey into the Cinémathèque idéale des banlieues du monde (Ideal Film Library of the World’s Suburbs) showcases unique film productions created in the “suburbs of the world”—dynamic creative spaces that are constantly evolving, never exhaustive or static. Unlike ethnographic films, the images highlighted by the Cinémathèque emerge from the margins and explore viewpoints from everyday life, intimacy, and the actual experiences of migrant families. This polyphonic interview looks back at the project’s origins and examines the issues surrounding audiovisual memory through the lens of its conditions of production and uses. It sheds light on the memorial challenges related to the transformation of private family images into public images, and from memory to history for minoritised groups. Visual production thus becomes a space of both social and epistemic justice. For researchers, it raises important methodological and epistemological questions.
