A Woman and her Car
 
A woman and her car

Loïc Darses

On 31 December 2003, Lucie Tremblay decided to write to the man who abused her between ages eight and twelve. She is determined to personally deliver the letter. She films her journey to gain closure for the trauma that has haunted her whole life. When her son finds the footage well over a decade later, he decides to turn it into a film: A Woman and her Car. An intimate homage to the courage of an exceptional woman who decided to stand up for herself and a savage condemnation of the bastards who abuse the innocence of others and think they can get away with it.

The Spirit of the Forest
El Espiritu del bosque
when you awake

Monique Muntique

2015 | 0:52:00

A poetic & political documentary In less than a hundred years, half of the world's tropical forests have been destroyed. As a consequence, all over the world forest peoples are threatened and endangered. Among them the Baka of Central Africa, driven from their ancestral territory by the advance of logging activities and the establishment of protected areas, claim their right to live in peace in their natural environment, their “source of life”, as they say. Despite their specific situation, the issues raised by the Baka are universal and essential and particularly relevant in the present.

October 1 - 9, 2016

An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. We prefer documentaries which succeed in representing the complexity of reality and discover in a new way its sensible and perturbing aspects on the same time accentuating the ambivalent and enigmatic status of reality in avoiding sterotypes and simplifing conclusions.
