Synopsis
In the West, the image of Palestinian women has a rather Orientalist slant. However, they didn't wait for the Intifada in 1987 before revolting. Veiled Hope breaks with the miserabilistic image of Palestinian women that prevails in the West to follow these extraordinary women in their daily lives. It also evokes the usual depiction of women in Palestinian pictorial art: they are always masked. Details are erased, sensuality is absent, bodies are stylized to the extreme.

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.
