Under Construction
Synopsis
Each year almost 100,000 families are forced to move because their homes in Shanghai are destroyed so that the government, along with real estate promoters, can carry out new town planning. Composed of animated photos, along with documentary videos, Under Construction is one continuous shot documenting the destruction of a Shanghai neighborhood.

Tender Age, by Julien Gaspar-Oliveri
Sixteen-year-old Diane exists exclusively through her mother's gaze. But this intensely close bond between Diane and her mother, Sophie, is becoming increasingly problematic for the teenager. At high school, she would like to be loved like she is at home and expresses it in an awkward way like when she exchanges a favor for a look, in the toilets. A loudmouth, provocative, and seeking attention, Diane tries to stand apart from her mother and wishes, during a weekend, to live like an adult.
