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.

“Untold stories“ is a documentary film based on a trip of a Syrian girl who left Damascus with her video camera all in her way to her own city the revolution there, she also participated in all peaceful demonstrations . It was a great surprise to discover the role of female activists play there. We saw the importance of women's participation and their role in this movement, how they managed to lead the protesters, it's the Arab Spring is also a spring for Arab women.

Total laryngectomy, a mutilation that affects the face and the voice, can be lived as a profound metamorphosis. Joël Perrotte undertook that surgery in 2007. After becoming mute, his first reaction was to retreat from the outside world, in the basement of his home. Thanks to his wife's support, he surfaced back, and found the strength to learn a new voice and become part of the society. The film tells the story of this extraordinary metaphosis.
