Organized by the Finance Solidaire Bourgogne-Franche-Comté network, in partnership with MACIF, join us for a film screening and discussion featuring the movie “Act as If You Can’t Fail” (a film about the life of Claude Alphandéry).
The screening will be followed by a discussion between the audience and local stakeholders on the topics of community-based financing and collective action.
Throughout his life, Claude Alphandéry championed a single cause: resisting injustice and building, through cooperation, a more just and inclusive society. From the Resistance to the development of the social and solidarity economy, he demonstrated that collective action, rooted in local communities, could bring about lasting social change. His clear-eyed and deeply humanistic commitment remains more relevant today than ever.
The discussion will be moderated by Christian GUFFROY, coordinator of the Finance Solidaire BFC network, and the evening will conclude with a reception.
“Act as if You Could Not Fail” is a film by Mathieu Pheng, produced in 2025. Runtime: 1 hr 16 min
A poignant exploration of the life of Claude Alphandéry (1922–2024), a member of the Resistance, economist, banker, and pioneer of the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE). His journey bears witness to a shining conviction: it is together, with joy and courage, that we can transform the world.
