Jikoo, a Wish
Synopsis
The people of the village of Bakadadji, located in a National Park in Senegal, try to obtain funding to build fences that will stop the protected animals living in the park from ruining their crops every year. Through their efforts, these farmers fight for recognition of a rural lifestyle to which they are deeply attached. Immersed in the daily life of the villagers, this film tells the story of a meeting that never eventuates, and indirectly portrays our era's attitude to a rural world that struggles to have its voice heard.

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.
