Synopsis
In 2002, Laura Waddington spent months, hiding in fields around the Sangatte Red Cross camp with Afghan and Iraqi refugees, who where trying to cross the channel tunnel to England. Filmed at night, the figures lit only by the distant light of the motorways and accompanied by an evocative score by Simon Fisher-Turner, "Border" is a personal account of refugees, plight and the police violence that followed the camp's closure.

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.
