My Palestine
Synopsis
Sabrina, Rawad, Said, and other young Palestinian refugees born in Lebanon enter the photo studio one by one. The rules of the game are simple. They all choose a backdrop for their portrait from among four mythical cities: New York, Paris, Beirut, and Jerusalem. They each talk about themselves, project, and question. They all share a nostalgia for a land they don’t know and they may never know: Palestine.

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.
