Extinction des lumières
Synopsis
In 1944, the economist and ideologist Friedrick Hayek synthesized the bases of what is now known as neoliberalism. He worked in isolation at the time. Now, sixty years later, his ideas have become dominant and form the political basis of most of the world’s states. The film outlines, in a very open way, a deconstruction of neoliberal rhetoric by trying to identify the message itself, the mythology upon which it rests, and by showing how this message is relayed and spread, and how it manages to truly transform individuals and society.

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.
