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 mind is like an iceberg, it floats with one-seventh of its bulk

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.

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.
