The Blue Room
Synopsis
Memory is full of twists and knots. To try to untangle it, I suggest that my family members and I organise a meal for the tenth anniversary of my father's death. A brutal death: struck down by a heart attack at fifty-six.
This documentary comedy involves its characters in a funny dialogue between present-day family scenes and family archives, with private conversations and reenactments. In this portrait of a family of notables from the south-west of France, in this relationship with grief, another film arises. A film I made so as to see my father. Only, he has indeed disappeared.

Changing Rooms, by Violette Gitton
César is 12 when his older sister Lou is sexually assaulted. In the changing rooms of the fencing classes he attends, everything is measured by the yardstick of violence. César would like to take part in every fight, but he doesn’t have the weapons.
