La Maladie silencieuse
Synopsis
Upon returning from a three-month trip to Africa, I learned that I’d caught hepatitis C. More than a year of intensive treatment lay ahead of me. How was I going to live through the months ahead? Right from the first day of my dual therapy, I started keeping a diary. I took photos. Then, one day, I got hold of a camera. Filming was a practical response to my state of fatigue and feeling of imprisonment. I felt that shooting a film would help me to endure the treatment. There was a desire to keep on living. And then, a camera would take me outside to capture other images. It was an opportunity to have a third therapy within my reach.

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.
