Marta Bergman's new film, 'The Silent Run,' depicts the harrowing experiences of migrants facing life-threatening journeys, according to a report by France 24.

The film centers on a tragic incident involving refugees attempting to navigate dangerous routes. Critic Manon Kerjean described the production as a "powerful, haunting take on the terrifying scenarios that many refugees face."

In addition to the focus on Bergman's work, the arts program reviewed Alain Gomis's film 'Dao.' This production offers an atmospheric look at family rituals and traditions within Guinea-Bissau.

Cinema highlights

The program also featured 'What is Love?,' a film starring Laure Calamy and Vincent Macaigne. The movie follows a separated couple as they revisit their shared history during a trip to Rome, blending comedic and bittersweet elements.

The coverage of these films was part of the Arts24 program, which highlights recent developments in French and international cinema.
