Summary: | The project coLAB, funded by the Council of Europe and the European Union, aims to promote the integration of refugees through education. In this context, between October 2018 and April 2019, five refugees taught at Université Clermont Auvergne. In order to keep a record of this experience, a documentary film was made. Based on the discourse of the film’s stakeholders (film maker and refugee-teachers), combining participant observation and semi-directive interviews, we analyse how the preparation and shooting have fostered the development of intercultural communication between the film maker and the filmed and created the conditions for pluralistic integration. The place of documentary film as a tool for intercultural mediation and the role of the mediator in such a system will also be examined.
