Vivre nos vies

Through the spoken stories and testimonies of 4 LGBTQ+ people over 40 years old about their lives, their joys, their hopes, their struggles, and their advice, this documentary aims to contribute to an archive, to the construction of a queer history. But also to the bridging of the communication gap between generations, showing young queer people that it is possible to have a long and happy life. What are the differences and similarities between their lived experience and the one of younger LGBTQ+ people? What can we learn from them and what should we aim to overcome? What links unify this 'community' and what debates split through it? But more than anything: what does it mean to grow old whilst being gay, lesbian, bi, trans, non-binary...? What does that look like? What does the future, which is sometimes so complicated to imagine, have on hold for us?

Saigon

A journey through memory and time, spread over half a century, between France and Vietnam. In a vietnamese restaurant set, between 1956, when French troops left Saigon, and 1996, when a return to the native country becomes possible again, destinies of characters who all have a common link with the city intertwine and the ghosts of Saigon in 1956 rub shoulders with exiles from the 13th arrondissement of Paris and their descendants, from whom we desperately tried to hide their wounds and regrets. They sing, dance, eat, and remember, through tears or smiles, those who are absent and the life before. The theatrical performances of the 15th and 16th octobre 2022 in Sceaux (parisian suburbs) have been filmed, thus proposing to experience the play through the film form.

Sankara's Orphans

Thomas Sankara came to power in Burkina Faso in 1983, with the promise of a revolutionary government that would transform the West African country. To help build the revolution, he sent 600 children — many orphans from rural areas — to be educated in Cuba. But after Sankara’s assassination, the children were stranded. The last would only return to Burkina Faso in 2005. SANKARA’S ORPHANS tells their stories through interviews with some of the 600, along with archival footage of their lives on Cuba’s Isle of Youth — where both Sankara and Fidel Castro came to visit. Along with their education, the children worked in the fields and received weapons training. This, combined with their idealism, frightened the new Burkina Faso regime, which worried they might return and take up arms.
