New York : ils ont quitté la France… le choix d’y rester (ou pas)

New York is a dream. But living in New York… and especially choosing to stay (or not), is another story. In this immersive documentary, French people living in New York share their experiences with a city that never resembles the postcards. Leaving France was one decision. Staying, sometimes, is another. 🎥 Adélaïde, a photographer fascinated by clichés… and the moments that defy them. 📖 Marc Levy, a world-renowned author who has lived in Manhattan for 20 years. 📰 Marie, a French journalist who documented the deserted city during lockdown. 📷 Zim, a guide and photographer, a Bronx native, helps us rediscover NYC through his lens. 🎶 CharlÉlie Couture, a musician and visual artist who left New York after having loved it so much. “Beyond the Cliché – New York” is an immersion into real New York life. A series of portraits filmed on location, in the heart of the streets, studios, and rooftops. 🗽 Between myth and reality, this film explores the choice to live in New York… or to leave it. 📌 About this video Format: YouTube documentary (20 minutes) Language: French Themes: Expatriation, society, photography, culture, the American dream, visual storytelling, Alban Guillien Production: alban creative audiovisual https://www.alban-ca.fr Links: https://www.charlelie.com https://www.marclevy.com https://www.adelaidechantilly.com https://www.newyorkcityphotosafari.com https://www.blacklephant.com https://www.alban-ca.fr ⏱️ Chapters: 0:00 – Introduction: The New York Myth 1:15 – Adelaide, Photographer in Manhattan 4:20 – Marc Levy: The Writer in the City That Never Sleeps 8:05 – Marie: New York During Covid 11:10 – Zim: Photographers' New York 15:30 – CharlÉlie: Leaving, After Believing in It 6:45 PM – Conclusion 🔔 Subscribe to discover the next episodes of “Beyond the Cliché” #documentary #newyork #expatriation #portrait #marclevy #photography #culture #frenchabroad #beyondthecliché #report #expatlife #charleliecouture #raw #konbini
