Cantonese Rice
Synopsis
I have slanted eyes but I don't speak Chinese. My grandmother likes cheese but doesn't speak French. To translate between her and me there is my father, but he is reluctant to do so. So I meet other Chinese immigrants, with different languages and backgrounds. Thanks to these detours, the loss of original language gradually makes sense.

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.
