description While shooting Nuclear Nomads, the two filmmakers lived alongside the workers in camper vans near nuclear power stations in France. This physical proximity enabled the documentary-makers to convey to viewers the aspirations, emotions and difficulties of the technicians working for EDF to maintain nuclear power stations. This interview with the filmmakers explores the shooting conditions and the questions they raised during the editing process. It highlights the aesthetic and sociological quality of the documentary, based on the sensibilities of the two filmmakers, their editor, and the composer of the original score. The aim of the film is to look beyond the high incomes these subcontractors receive – largely linked to the allowances for travelling from site to site across France – and show the effects of this nomadic lifestyle on their families and social lives, and their dreams of a future life, which fade or change as the years in a camper van go by. Three long extracts from the film offer an idea of its scope and aesthetic originality.
