Taguerabt Divas
Synopsis
To strengthen a financial cooperation with Algeria, China offered in 2016 an Opera House to the city of Algiers. Not accustomed to operatic culture, Algeria does not have the necessary funds to support and maintain this auditorium of 1,400 seats. Karim Moussaoui reflects on the role an Opera House could play in the Algerian musical culture. With his crew, he sets off to the desert in search of the mysterious divas of the Taguerabt.

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.
