Asmahan the Diva
Synopsis
The diva and Druze princess Asmahan had a short life, but what a life it was! Weddings, glory, spying, lovers, alcohol, poker, suicides, murders, scandals… This oriental Marilyn Monroe marked the golden age of Egyptian musicals. Even today, her voice still echoes throughout the Middle East and her mysterious death in the waters of the Nile continues to feed the wildest rumors.

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.
