Blaise Harrison : 2019
Particles
Pays de Gex, at the foot of the Jura Mountains on the French-Swiss border. 17-year-old P.A. and his group of friends are in their last year of high school. One hundred metres below ground, the Large Hadron Collider, the most powerful particle accelerator in the world, is crashing protons into each other to recreate the energy conditions of the big bang and detect previously unknown particles. As the area slips into wintertime and P.A. sees the world shifting around him, he starts to observe strange phenomena in the environment, abnormalities in the landscape, tiny alterations in a familiar ecosystem. The changes are imperceptible at first, but gradually his whole world seems to be on the brink. Blaise Harrison's feature debut premiered in competition at the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs at Festival de Cannes 2019.
