A daily life of a lonely young man from his point of view and his attempts to break out into society

One afternoon at Trocadero, four young men tell us their perception of public space and how they occupy it, the group effect giving them the strength to make this forbidden city their own.

In Le nez de ma mère Harilay Rabenjamina moves away from what usually characterizes his work and tells a personal story. He recounts an event that destabilized him : his sister had her nose redone.

Maïa, a young opera singer, is on stage for her first performance. As she starts singing the main aria from "Dido and Aeneas", she finds herself struck with a moment of sudden revelation.

Photographs are dusted, records cleaned, insects removed from books and everything is digitized for eternity. The matter-of-fact shots of fastidious archival work, though, are combined with the voice of a young woman who reports on the collapse of civilization, the fragile artefacts of which she secures as the last human being left in the “Congress”. In the field of tension between image and sound a space for our imagination opens up.

An experimental film about my family and the trauma of Spanish civil war and exile. — C.P.

Three soldiers put together a bold plan to rebuild Haiti, reminding us that to achieve great things, we must aim for the impossible.

A dancer as filmmaker refrains from superfluous movement in a villa in Brittany, giving way to an individual as well as social state described by the French philosopher Paul Virilio as "polar inertia".

1906, two young women, who are socially opposed, fall deeply in love with each other.

In Lucien's family, one rule cannot be broken: use the computer before the age of 12.

Language is a visible organic material. This substance - detached from its emitter- has the particular feature of being transparent and of allowing a passage through. Language as a material unfolds in its own environment and on its own scale, in a back and forth motion between its different states: either as a magma or as hard hollow crystallized shapes. During the process, a prosody emerges from this matter which attempts to manifest, to extract and to define itself. Examining these attempts is the issue.

Supported financially by his mother in Paris, Medhi will learn to become an adult through the discovery of his first sexual emotions and emancipate himself from his mother.

Manu Dibango is eighty years old. Smiling like a kid, he blows out his birthday cake candles, followed by applause. An hour and half later, he is eighty-five years old. Between these two milestone birthdays, the film directors followed in the day to day footsteps of this smiling, debonair giant; for whom the expression, "quiet strength" seems to have been coined. Composer, musician, journalist, an ambassador of the Francophone world, honoured and distinguished around the world; Manu Dibango has remained himself wherever he may find himself.

Freewheeling film celebrating both sexual and stylistic fluidity. Phoenix literally changes colour as the characters circle one another. A medical student who sometimes rents out a room in his house receives a visit from a young woman he was romantically involved with the previous summer. But he shows little interest in her – mainly because he’s now in love with Harry.

Once upon a time, in an English house with a fairy garden, a strange boy lived isolated with scientists wondering how to remove the violence gene.

Somewhere in the Eastern bloc an industrial accident, people organize themselves and start the decontamination. Alternating loops of abstract images and catastrophe, characters with gas masks wander through the rubble. The artifice of orchestrated calm is reworked, the material manipulated by photochemical processes and the image in a performative mode is put in tension with the analogical sound.

Stereotyped, stigmatised, hypersexualised or invisibilised... sexuality between women is a source of fantastical questions, of unbridled imagination, of hackneyed clichés that oscillate between repulsion and idealisation. I wanted to unveil and subvert lesbian sexuality through the senses, to offer a sensory experience by plunging the audience into a state of confusion to better approach the mystery of desire and female pleasure. I wanted to make a film that appealed to the unconscious of the images and sounds as well as to the unconscious of each individual. A film of emotions and anxieties, fed by my memories, my obsessions, my fantasies and my fears... To make you feel the convulsions of the flesh. To light the fuse of desire to get lost in a labyrinth of secret and mysterious pleasures.

Romain is a shy man, actually hiding a more explosive personality underneath.

James creates adult content. He's not a porn actor, nor strictly an influencer. He makes his living by posting his masturbation videos on OnlyFans. James is also straight, which makes him an outlier in this "Solo Male" niche. His audience consists of gay men, sometimes women. But James wonders about the latter. What are the images that really turn them on?

Under the pine forest, the winds sweep a villa deserted by its inhabitants. Selim Bentounes surrounds himself with relatives to film the dynamics of a group of occupants, protecting the last beating heart of a universe without feelings. The dystopian flavor of Little Heart is not tasted in a profusion of effects. The film elegantly carves a melancholy into the setting, the sound, the faces and the everyday scenes that are not quite what they seem. It is far from the others that this film-parable goes however, so that the world is reborn for a moment, in an explosion of pure emotions.

A lady’s vaporous dream in a land of soft and peachy flesh where her affection for her masseur transpires.

The well-seasoned film-maker Jacques Meilleurat has always been discreet, making films at a modest pace on a shoestring. His latest opus stages this financial necessity – in the supposed beginning, there is an old fictitious contract signed with a publisher to tell the story of a life scarred by sexual abuse. This diary is dictated into an old-fashioned cassette recorder. That is what the film depicts.
