    Mathieu Kassovitz / SFUFF 2015, Narrative / France / 1996 / 98 mins
    A French film with English subtitles, "La Haine" translates to "Hate". This impactful narrative, starring Vincent Cassel of Ocean's 12 & Ocean's 13, takes us on a gritty, unsettling, and visually explosive look at the racial and cultural volatility in 90’s France. The film's backdrop of Banlieue districts on the outskirts of Paris offers a gold mine of urban planning problems.
