Road Rapture
Synopsis
Road Rapture mediates between imaginary states of the motorway. Encountering different road uses and exploiting the cinematic potential of the architecture and driving’s sense of movement the film places the viewer in the mental space of the motorway. Visiting churches built for the motorway and hearing ideas from the priest, the film reflects upon the self as vehicle for understanding, changes in our perception of time, and how nature exists in an artificial landscape.

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.
