On the Bertha Boxcar's Head
Synopsis
A car scrap yard in the suburbs. Rather than to roam in the middle of towers without horizons of his outer suburbs, Johnny Johnson, cut off from his family, invents machines to extricate himself from his gloomy universe. In the utopia of his approach in the middle of the mechanical waste, he gets hooked, and why not an artistic revolution in his area to avert the fate of the permanent night? Then one evening, he will meet Mellaz.

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.
