The Orphan’s Kaddish
Synopsis
Aharon Appelfeld is a great writer and a survivor. One of those of the last generation. One of the last three surviving writers of the Shoah. Aharon Appelfeld is a singular destiny that holds within him, as a whole, the destiny of a people. He holds within him its entire history, all of history. He inhabits the world, even if it sometimes disappears or is transformed, whether it is the Jewish Bukovina, the Jerusalem cafés of the sixties, the Orthodox in Méa Shéarim (a Jerusalem neighbourhood), or a clean suburb of Jerusalem. Destined for annihilation, Aharon Appelfeld is alive, totally alive, at every moment.

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.
