Synopsis
"Jemima the Mountain Girl" is playing with various elements : literary sterotypes of the F.Scott Fitzgerald novel, inflamed romantism of a Viennese waltz, idealized feminine beauty through lengthy shots, some white and some black, burst of color, intrusion of rose, and green. The film is mocking classic hollywood cinema and undertake the fundamental discontinuity of every film, of every filmic text. Pleasure of the text, pleasure of cinema.

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.
