Handbook

The protests in Belarus, at the time of Lukashenko’s re-election in 2020, led to the arrest of around 7,000 people. A dispassionate representation of what happened next, based on hundreds of testimonies, makes the horror of the situation as instructive as impressive.

How to Save a Dead Friend

A documentary about the director and Kimi, a soul mate with whom she spends a decade filming the anguish and ecstasy of a generation repressed by an autocratic regime. There is room to portray the first love, the first heartbreak, and everything in between. Images of drug use, overdose, suicide that can be considered sensitive.

Incredible But True

It could be the beginning of a horror movie. A couple, Alain and Marie, begin the film by explaining that they cannot explain what is happening to them. Everyone will think they’re crazy. That’s how a horror movie starts, right? The crux of the matter may lie in the enigmatic tunnel that exists in the cellar of their new home. But maybe it’s not a horror movie. It’s hard to explain.

Italo Disco. The Sparkling Sound of the 80s

Italo disco has synthesizers, catchy melodies and chaotic English lyrics. It is the music of Sabrina and La Bionda, possessing an idiosyncratic imagery that has benefited from a recent revival. It may not have been the coolest genre of the 1980s, but it was influential and underrated. Taking it not too seriously, this film looks at all aspects of this phenomenon.

Journey to the Sun

A film that uses images from family archives to highlight the testimonies of children coming from Austria to Portugal, in the post-Second World War period. This reflection on a migration from an area marked by war, to another without the traces of that same destruction, gives space for dominant narratives to be confronted with first-hand experiences. The film proposes to look at a past that may resonate in the present.
