Synopsis

Manta Ray is a fragmented portrayal of three characters in search of poetic and liberating openings in a muzzled and gradually authoritarian Paris of the 2020’s. United under the sign of the Manta Ray, Kamilya, Ghost Rider and Gilles, each in their own way, organizes his secret melody, crafts a situation where, alternately, a sense of lightness can be found, suffocated screams can uprise and reality be distorted into new horizons.

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.
