In her debut feature,\u00a0Alexandra Pianelli captures the unique world in and around her family\u2019s Paris newsstand, presenting a film diary that lovingly documents her time working there. Sequestered behind the cramped counter, Pianelli films the world as it passes before her with a boundless sense of curiosity and compassion. iPhone or GoPro strategically set up before her, she records idiosyncratic interactions with charming regulars who drop by for their newspapers and a chat, or the lost passers-by simply looking for directions. Le Kiosque is a tender study of humanity, as well as a bittersweet sketch of physical media\u2019s dying days as the newsstand\u2019s future becomes increasingly unclear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
