Film screening : What if Babel was just a myth? A film by
Sandrine Loncke, 56', 2019. Following a young researcher
documenting a language isolate in southern Chad, the film
goes out to meet villagers and explore their relation to
languages. With their testimonies, one discovers a deeply
multilingual humanity, made up of a myriad societies, each
endlessly using language to encode its knowledge, its
culture, and much more: its entire worldview. But for how
much longer?
