Barthes*
Synopsis
Barthes* is a loose adaptation of Roland Barthes' Mythologies, whose story mainly takes place on the Adour River and in the light of southwestern France. The image and the staging make heterogeneous elements collide, allowing one to literally slide from fantasy to dream, passing through the unexpected touch of ethnographic sampling characteristic of any cinematic gesture.

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.
