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.

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.
