Frank Beauvais's Just Don't Think I'll Scream is exclusively playing on Mubi in most countries from June 25 - July 25, 2020 in Mubi's Undiscovered series.Top: Asparagus. Above: Man Is in PainThe idea of the film appeared while France was plunged into a state of emergency, following the November 2015 terrorist attacks. The police and army were everywhere, and politicians and state ideologues were, as usual in such a context, taking advantage of the situation to legitimize stronger surveillance of the population, justify questionable identity controls or searches, and distill and infuse fear amongst citizens. At that time, I was living all by myself, in a small village in Alsace not far from the German border. I had broken up a few months before and was expecting a vacancy in a friend’s flat to move back to Paris. I kept fighting with a fiction script I felt less and less inclined to develop,...
