One of the most horrifying Isis operations was the physical and cultural genocide of the Yezidi Kurds in Iraq. After conquering the Shingal region west of Mossul the terrorist militia began to systematically kill the male population while thousands of children, girls and women were kidnapped, enslaved, forced into marriage or raped. A157 is a filmmaker look at three pregnant girls recounting their stories of war, violence and sexist conquest in a land where people have no more dreams.

A haunting, disturbing gaze into the mind of a sociopath, against the backdrop of the European immigration crisis As a human being, aka “The Horn” - a former Colombian guerrilla commander - leaves much to be desired. Based on the principles laid out in Sergey Nechayev´s infamous Revolutionary Catechism, he cheated, extorted and murdered, up until reaching absolute self-fulfillment in the Far North of Sweden. A haunting, disturbing gaze into the mind of a sociopath, against the backdrop of the European immigration crisis

Jury Statement :
Al centro della rappresentazione il testo filmico pone la figura
inquietante e ambigua di un personaggio con un monologo interiore che
giustappone ad un ambiente esterno ripreso nel suo algore.

Director statement :
Not all film festivals shy away from provocation and signes de nuit
definitely dares to showcase
the disturbing, the bold, the non-conventional and the underground.
Glad to have been part of it.

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.
