The Sense of Tuning

The Sense of Tuning is a portrait of the architect Bijoy Jain of Studio Mumbai, conceived like a sketch made on the fly, captured in the vibrancy of movement and of the moment. Nothing of a hagiographic portrait giving a fixed image of the man and his work, the film explores the fragile, precious material of the architect’s sensibility with rare spontaneity, shedding light on how his perception of the emotion of space is nurtured. Conceived as a performative cinematic experience, this film captures the alchemy of a day-long encounter between Bijoy Jain and Bêka & Lemoine – twelve hours of intense wandering, plunging us into the vital energy of the streets of Mumbai. Visual notes made in the intimacy of the studio, observations of informal tactics of the city and visits to production sites, the film reveals how closely Bijoy Jain’s work is tied to the city of Mumbai, providing endless resources and inspiration. A sensory film where gesture becomes the language of intuition.

Kumva – Which Comes from Silence

Quietly and discreetly, the French director Sarah Mallégol follows a group of thirty-something protagonists who survived the 1994 Rwanda genocide as children. They have no memory of the events – neither those whose fathers were murdered nor those whose parents were responsible. A confrontation begins: focused conversations between generations which, captured by a gentle camera, are meant to cautiously break the long silence – in order to be able to understand, process and mourn.

vista in the sky

An incisive and disturbing meditation, vista in the sky involves the viewer in a journey to the dark heart of contemporary society’s ambitions of growth and success under capitalism. The meditation is guided by Dhātu-Ba'dan*, a spiritual healer named after an ancient Himyarite goddess of the oasis and worshiped at tree-circled pools. Dhātu-Ba'dan was said to forbid any invocation to her without a priestess in her sanctuary, employing a khalimah (i.e. 'Dreamer') who would sleep to receive an oracle in the form of a prophetic dream. Today, tarot card readers take on this mediating role, inhabiting the damp, leaky corners of the web and using network technology to mediate the relationship with their earnest followers.

Devenir roi

Cha is Drag King: on stage, hairy, with a big voice and virile gestures, he calls himself PowerBeauTom, plays with the codes of masculinity and plays his character to get as close as possible to what he really is, neither a man nor a woman, but simply a little of both. Assigned female at birth, now identifying himself as non-binary, Cha (23) has come a long way to become King, a life of zig-zagging genders and sexual orientations. Her father followed in her footsteps, without understanding everything, but with kindness. His grandmother supported him, as she had always supported just causes. Another family appeared, that of the Kings. Cha takes flight, at last, and sings it, guitar in hand. But has Cha arrived safely? Will the Drag King stage remain the only space in which he can feel himself on a daily basis?

Proviseure : le rôle principal

In theory, the school principal is the head of school life, the guarantor of teaching, and the person in charge of the school. A job description that sounds like a boss with full powers. The reality is a more complex and atypical model. "Proviseure: rôle principal" explores the daily reality of the profession through the lives of three women, three school principals (a kindergarten principal in Marseille, a technical high school principal in Paris, and a middle school principal in Boulogne-Billancourt), showing that their mission is as central as it is ambivalent.

Chemsex: accros au sexe sous drogues

Sexuality drugged to the point of addiction? What once seemed marginal is no longer so. The practice of chemsex is no longer confined to gay men. Chemsexers, former chemsexers, Parisian elected representatives, healthcare professionals and community activists all agree that it's time to tackle the issue head-on. Chemsex hides the consumption of stimulating and euphoric substances designed to facilitate, prolong or enhance sexual relations through their psychoactive effects (such as cathinones, including 3-MMC, but also GHB and GBL). Without taboos, thanks to the strength of courageous and intimate testimonials, this film aims to give a concrete understanding of what chemsex is: from the first time to regular practice, from the first effects to the impact on an entire life. It also highlights the methods and help available to deal with addiction and regain control of one's sexuality.
