I was still there when you left me is a live action short film directed by Marie Mc Court[1] in 2019.
In 2020, it won the bronze medal at the 47th Student Academy Awards[2] in the narrative category (International Film Schools) and was shortlisted for the GSA BAFTA Los Angeles Student Film Awards.[3]
PLOT
While her tower block is burning, a 7 year old girl is consumed by guilt thinking she started the fire.
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
[modifier | modifier le code]A few months after Marie Mc Court started writing, a building collapsed in Marseille, killing 8 people. It reminded her of what happened at the Grenfell tower in 2017 in London (The polyethylene facade panels could be the cause of the fire’s rapid spread, and the death of at least 79 people.)
She explained : "With my co-writer, Abdoul, we wanted to initiate discussions about what these events tells us about our society. The system we live in ignores a part of the population who lives in precarious and dangerous conditions. As the system is difficult to materialize as a character, we wrote a story in which a little girl sets fire to her building, so that we could evacuate the question of her responsibility. Who’s the real culprit ? The absent parents, the people in charge of the safety conditions, the people who built the tower...? The state, who let them build that tower? Why are certain types of violence not questioned and threatening the lives of a part of the population? By using an immersive point of view, I leave informations offscreen and invite the spectator to invest himself a little more in the narrative. I wanted to create empathy as a tool to avoid the trivialization of violence and suffering."
