- My father immortalized in family films the most beautiful moments of his life, while my mother's difficulties hit the blind spot of his images. Today, I revisit these images to tell a different story: that of a woman who sees her role as a mother take away her freedom step by step.
- We follow the film journey of Viollaine de Villers and Jean-Pierre Outers around the Chinese interior during the late 1980s. In a fragmented sequence of archival shots, vignettes of local culture gradually emerge, including everyday work, leisure time moments, and reflections of ancient myths.
- The first cultural act of Mozambique's government right after independence, in 1975, was creating the National Institute of Cinema [NIC]. The new President, Samora Machel, had a strong conscience of the cinematic potential while creating an image for a new socialist nation. All over the country, cinema road units were screening NIC's most popular production, a newsreel untitled Kuxa Kanema, which means The Birth of Cinema. People's Republic of Mozambique became the Republic of Mozambique and NIC, once a great enterprise, was reduced to abandoned rooms and corridors, where the staff stood patiently waiting for retirement. The building was destroyed by a fire back in 1991, and the visual documents that witness the first eleven years of independence - the years of the socialist revolution - were rotting in an out-building, and about to be forgotten. From these and other living testimonies, we will recover the path of a nation's ideal, which has fallen apart, day by day, together with "one cinema for the people", and with the dreams from those who believed that Mozambique could one day become a different country.
- Offers 2 films by S.D.: almost 40 years separate the making of "Trixi" from that of "The Sun and the Moon". Both works, using different technologies, feature the same performer, Beatrice Cordua. One was made on film and the other on video.
- "There is an art of dying and an art of giving life." Anne is a hospice patient trying to arrange her death for her friends: for it is they, after all, who are going to suffer her loss. Anne believes that the ultimate journey, which everyone must take sooner or later, can be a work of art, like a painting or a film. A coming to terms with death told in a supple style, rich in evocative visuals and a tenderness that seems to caress faces, and the lives behind their eyes, in their very last act.
- Sabri left to combat in Syria, leaving his family alone in the face of such sudden and unbearable absence. Saliha, his mother, decided not to keep silent. Her story intertwines that of other parents who unite and fight against the youth indoctrination by the jihadist networks.
- Julia Clever's grandfather was a member of the German army in WWII. She uses family videos and items found after his death to explain her family's shame, while revealing that he may have acted, in small ways, against Hitler's regime.
