The Barber Shop
Synopsis
Surrendering to razors and scissors, Emran, Gadisa, and Maher have their hair cut and their beards trimmed. Sitting in front of a mirror, their thoughts drift between memories of their homeland and the tragic events that brought them here, to the Calais Jungle. As their faces lighten up, they patiently contemplate their present lives and what the future holds. With the Jungle soon to be dismantled and a new chapter in their lives about to begin, this film questions the image that we have in Europe of migrants.

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.
