Programme
Que quelque chose vienne / The Night Drags
dir. Mathilde Girard | 2023 | 70 mins
In Paris, when the lockdown curfew arrives, people go home. Every morning, someone wakes up alone. At night, a woman tells a taxi driver about her illness. Times are interwoven to ward off separation.
L’Enfance qui nous revient a l’éclat d’une étoile / Recurring Childhood Twinkles Like a Star
dir. Marylène Negro | 2021 | 19 mins
A descent into the circles of hell. And an escape. Recurring Childhood Twinkles Like a Star is a peregrination around Mount Etna, a cruel tale where voices, landscapes and a child meet. Around her, from this young and fleeting time, slowly gravitate and circulate figures from a distant memory, ruins, fresco of Death. A film that traces three temporalities: the instant, death, the beyond.
