Screening of Je verrai toujours vos visages at the Rainbow Theater: A Cinema and Restorative Justice Event

Updated: Oct 15

As part of its monthly cinema program, the French Institute of Jordan, in collaboration with the Rainbow Theater, is thrilled to invite you to the Jordanian premiere of Je verrai toujours vos visages by director Jeanne Herry. This unique event will take place on October 14, 2024, at 7 PM in the heart of Amman, offering an immersive experience focused on the theme of restorative justice, a topic rarely addressed in cinema.

A Deep Dive into Restorative Justice

The film follows individuals who have been victims or perpetrators of crimes in France since the introduction of “restorative justice” in 2014. This innovative process allows victims, like Chloé, and offenders such as Nassim, Issa, and Thomas, to meet in secure environments facilitated by professionals and volunteers. Through intense dialogues and emotional journeys, Je verrai toujours vos visages reveals the complexities of relationships between victims and perpetrators, exploring redemption, healing, and reintegration.

🎬 Synopsis: Since 2014, "restorative justice" in France has given victims and offenders the opportunity to meet and engage in dialogue. Jeanne Herry's film delves into these exchanges, where anger, hope, silence, and speech blend to foster understanding and, sometimes, a path toward healing.

An Engaging Discussion After the Screening

The event will continue after the film with a discussion led by Mohammed Shamma and Abdallah Abdoh from the Danish Center Against Torture, along with Jordanian figures from the judicial system and civil society. Together, they will address themes of restorative justice, reintegration, and the fight against recidivism. This will be an opportunity to reflect on the issues raised by the film and discover how these topics resonate within Jordan.
