IVG, le droit d'en parler

In France, one in three women has an abortion during her lifetime. Although this medical procedure has been a legal right since 1975, the subject remains sensitive. Those who talk about it expose themselves to ambiguous comments and sometimes judgment. This film documents the freedom of speech and awareness needed to break the silence surrounding abortion. It recounts the personal and social upheaval that abortion can still cause today. Léa Bordier has collected the stories of those who have experienced it in order to break the taboo that has surrounded abortion in France since its legalization.

València, t'estime

A look at the LGBT history of Valencia (Spain) from the 1970s to the early 2000s, a crucial era where a explosion of desire for freedom and the exploration of sexuality marked the beginning of the egalitarian struggle for queer rights. The film showcases testimonies that marked a before and after in the Valencian struggle, and unites activists, historical figures, drag queens, businesspeople and historians to shape a unique yet still unknown history, as well as countless of unpublished archival footage that will get us into a city that proved to be open and plural — The first demonstrations, homophobic assaults, the Brigada 26, the origins of Moviment d'Alliberament Gai del Pais Valencià and Lambda, nightlife venues and cabarets, the trans struggle, the HIV/AIDS outbreak, the first gay bookstore in the city, the first regional lesbian collective; these are some of the topics that tell a universal struggle: to be able to be free and love whoever you want without fear.

The Machine Monologues - Part I: The Storm

In this first part of a series of audio-visual installations, video artist Eli Cortiñas shows humanoid robots, avatars, and chatbots engaging in monologs about the troubles of our times. We listen to their thoughts and concerns, wondering where their words come from. Do they originate from our collective consciousness, which inevitably runs through their engines? While scientists debate the potential for consciousness in A.I. and robotics, Cortiñas raises the question: are these beings capable of more humanity than humans? Throughout the work, she challenges technology’s influence on our behavior and its reinforcement of human biases. She offers no easy answers. At the same time, Cortiñas' work speaks to our human ability to share stories and shift narratives toward new paths. Using intricate montage, humor and joy as tools for resistance and critical reflection, she encourages us to rethink the material and virtual reality of our existence and the humanity that underlies it.
