Filmed in Paris during the summit organized by La Fanfare Invisible in May 2025, the project follows nineteen activist fanfares from different parts of Europe for four days. In rehearsals, workshops, and street actions, the musicians play together to protest against violence, inequality, the climate crisis, patriarchy, racism, and fascism.

In an era marked by anxiety, uncertainty and social fragmentation, I was inspired by the actions of these bands which embody a joyful peaceful form of resistance and community. They create space for hope and agency, weaving music into the social fabric.
