Riverboom

The FIFDH invites you to an open-air screening at the Centre d’hébergement collectif de Feuillasse, in Meyrin! As night falls, come and discover Riverboom, a film by Claude Baechtold that won the Champ-Dollon Jury Award at the 2025 FIFDH.

Riverboom is the odyssey of three young reporters in Afghanistan, shortly after the attacks of 11 September 2001. Miles away from Kabul and with a camera bought at the market, Claude Baechtold will film the adventures of Serge, a moralist journalist and workaholic, and Paolo, a photographer as jovial as he is oblivious. Riverboom is a story of encounters, serendipity and the unexpected. One day, Claude Baechtold receives a call from Serge Michel. The journalist asked him to accompany him by car to Kabul.
