The Sea is History
Synopsis
Shot in the Dominican Republic and Haiti, The Sea is History takes up the rhythm of the eponymous text by the Caribbean poet Derek Walcott. Although everything begins at the very place where Christopher Columbus first set foot in 1492, it is not in order to celebrate the famous discovery of America, but so as to wander in the deserts of capitalist modernity and make the song of those who died while crossing the ocean heard.

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.
