Confinement 20 is a 15-minute documentary film that focuses on the daily life of confinement in a residence. A quiet residence located at Nord Hilton, Notre Dame in Tunis applies total containment as part of the fight against the spread of Covid-19, Everyone is confined ... but not necessarily isolated. Every day the residents go down for a walk in the courtyard, others risk going out to run errands, testimonies, from some residents, my neighbours, in the face of the coronavirus epidemic. I had their permission to film them at home and in the residence. It is a documentary film that tells the story of how these people adapt to this new rhythm of life in confinement and how they manage their outside world.
The interviews are different for each resident who is from a different type of society; Media, Medicine, Arts, Civil servant, janitor. The sequences talk about real life in the apartments, floors, elevator and garden. Accompaniment will continue over 2 or 3 days to be closer to them and their personal lives and my neighbor's professional with a handheld camera and a bib always.

Containment 20, a documentary film will be shot by a professional Canon 1300D camera. I live in a residence composed of (40) apartments. Residents talk about the extent of coexistence with life in confinement. The film is based on the actual actions of all the residents and their daily affairs... to handle the stress of containment and three-point sequencing :
1. The life and atmosphere of the Confinement in the residents' homes
2. Telework, telecommuting and the confinement and difficulties of moving.
For many people, work is nowadays done at a distance.
3. Cleaning the residence.
We can talk about a technical research that seeks to understand the feelings of people in the residence, I can count on 5 to 6 families, to identify the psychological state of each of my neighbors, to make them and let them to express their lives, their desires, the normal life of their former daily lives. All the footage is going to be filmed indoors since the film is a real image of life inside the residence, either at home or in the middle of the courtyard. Everyone's under lockdown. It's possible to film a few shots in front of the door of the residence.

At the editing level; I will send the dailies to Hamza Medfai (picture editor) via internet with a detailed technical breakdown to make the work easier, then I'll send the soundtrack to Elyes Zouaghi (sound editor) to mix the interviews and add music composed by Yasmine Rabet. So we're a confined team working remotely, and I think it's good to to share the pleasure of filming at the time of confinement to help find a balance in the standard of living.

The film will aim to be promoted in several film festivals such as the International Amateur Film Festival of Kélibia FIFAK, and since the film mainly concerns everyone and all Tunisians, it can also be considered as an awareness project as part of the fight against the spread of Covid-19, to encourage people to make ART and share it on the internet if the containment is prolonged.
