France's Phone Boxes: A Vanishing Symbol

RFI

A new documentary film, "Allo la France," explores the dwindling number of public phone booths in France, which have become symbolic of a weakened public service and social connection. The film follows filmmaker Floriane Devigne as she searches for the last remaining booths in rural areas, documenting her collection of over 2,000 photographs. This project raises questions about the changing landscape of communication and the loss of a familiar cultural element.
