Synopsis
A hotel room and a few sweets, whose wrappings pile up like leaves of gold: we know Jean-Claude Rousseau makes films with very little and that this little takes on an unexpected power through harmony and disruption. Throw in three windows overlooking a square in Lisbon, a Chantal Akerman interview and round-the-clock coverage of the 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, and what emerges is a genuine tragedy, as simple as those of Racine.

The Other Queen of Memphis, by Luna Mahoux
Memphis, Tennessee. Through fragments of her story and the city’s layered memories, the film sketches a portrait of a place shaped by ghosts, dreams, and women’s voices.
