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.

Butterfly, by Florence Miailhe
A man swims in the sea. This brings back memories. They are all connected to water, from his early childhood to his adult life. This will be the story of his last swim.
🦋 'Butterfly' won the Crystal Bear Young People's Jury at the Berlinale and was selected for the Official Competition at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, where it received the André Martin Prize.
