The Demons of Dorothy
Synopsis
Dorothy, a film director who is a bit of a loser, is laughing while writing her script. But a phone call from her producer dampens her desire to laugh: it's time to stop making queer comedies and make universal films! To avoid slumping into anxiety, Dorothy takes refuge in her favorite series, Romy and the Vampires. Unfortunately, her demons have decided to visit her tonight.

About
Alexis Langlois has directed a slapstick comedy with a radical mise-en-scène, which furiously hacks at the established order of film financing. A generous, obscene, and outrageous fable, in which Buffy, the Vampire Slayer meets the camp universe of John Waters, everything bathed in a hardcore aesthetic of silicone and big cars.

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.
