Amin, a young illegal immigrant, has just joined a group of other illegals camping in the forest. Every night is an opportunity to try to sneak into the dockyards and stow away under a truck. Over the course of his attempts, Amin discovers that between the forest and the men passing through it, there are other groups, other faces, other spaces. Behind the figure of the illegal immigrant walking, Among Us tells of crossing borders: the one between citizens and non-citizens, the one between reality and metaphor and the one between the living and the dead.

Director
Clément Cogitore
Young master of the visual arts, Clément Cogitore dominates the fusion of film, photography and experimental video-art. Exploring the idea of collective memory, his work questions our relationship with our own images and representations by bringing to life the intersection of cinematic expression with forms of contemporary art. Among numerous distinctions, Cogitore saw his first feature film Neither heaven nor earth (2015) selected to be screened at the International Critics' Week in Cannes, received the prestigious Marcel Duchamp award in 2018 and has had his work exhibited in venues such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin and MoMA in New York. His latest film, Goute d'Or, was present at the Cannes 2022 Festival.
