Silêncio
Synopsis
Trees, the sea, some megaliths, a steel bridge, a passing female character all filmed in the early and final hours of the day. Silêncio looks at the elemental figures of cinema and the world. It’s a return to a primitive cinema as much as to fundamental elements: water, wind, earth, and the sun. A dialectic about silence consisting of silent images edited in counterpoint with the industrial music of Throbbing Gristle.

Changing Rooms, by Violette Gitton
César is 12 when his older sister Lou is sexually assaulted. In the changing rooms of the fencing classes he attends, everything is measured by the yardstick of violence. César would like to take part in every fight, but he doesn’t have the weapons.
