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.

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.
