Dream Work

Eleven minutes of confusion, in which the viewer enters a dream world where the conscious and unconscious overlap. Is it the resting woman who sinks into sleep or the film that sinks into her?

Dry Ground Burning

In Ceilândia, on the outskirts of Brasília, Léa, Chitara and Andreia have a very particular business: extracting oil from pipelines in the city, then turning it into gasoline that they sell to “motoboys” in the area. Between this structure and the business of politics, this is the story of Kebradas’ gasoline trade.

Elevator Alone

Four people take an elevator. But how they behave when they’re alone (putting on lipstick or dancing a bit) and how they behave when they’re all together are two completely different things.

Flatlife

Hanging a painting on the wall, building a house of cards, doing the laundry and watching TV: the most innocent and harmless actions in the daily lives of four ordinary people. But of all the bad luck, these people had to live next to each other.

Flickering Ghosts of Loves Gone By

This is a work made from films that the director collected, anonymous or amateur by nature, and which he now uses to design a look that encompasses his own life, his family stories, as well as a (clear) obsession with cinema (and sex). A portrait between fiction and reality, between the endearing and the narcissistic, haunted by past loves but full of joie de vivre.

Flux Gourmet

What is sonic cooking? The type of art practiced in this story, glued with pastiche and dead-pan humour, which takes place in a house in the bucolic English countryside, in a residence where artists work extracting different and disturbing sounds from various foods. But the productivity of the stay will be threatened by an art collective that is jealous and ready for revenge.

Fragile

A film with a daring musical vein that seeks to distinguish the night experiences of a group of friends from this place of alienation, exclusivity and consumption that is the “club”. There’s nothing more important than defiance against the system—especially when it’s practiced with friends.

Freda

It’s not an easy life for a young woman in Haiti. Gessica Généus’ first feature film focuses on a family headed by a mother, Jeannette (Fabiola Rémy), who tries to convince Esther (Djanaïna François) to find a rich man to marry and Freda (Néhémie Bastien) to find a job and drop out of college. Alongside precariousness and tough choices, accusing complex social issues, there are also desires and joys.

Ghost Song

“Houston, Texas: oil, sex, alcohol and drugs”. This is the setting for Nicolas Peduzzi’s documentary, which follows Alexandra, Will and Nate as they try to survive in a city that likes to devour dreams, especially those of an ex-gang leader or of a rich boy disowned due to his addiction. In the background, the coming hurricane isn’t a metaphor at all.
