Synopsis
Special A/Effects evokes the fiction and artifice of filmmaking and its self-reflexivity and comedy to expose the brutality, meaninglessness, contradictions, solitude, happiness, and sadness of the strange work of the actor: that of constant repetition, of being commanded in blindness, of playing and faking roles as a profession to which you have devoted your life. Yet reality always lingers in the shadows, and inevitably emerges.

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.
