Synopsis
In this documentary about Cape Verde and the island of Fogo produced by the revolutionary government of the new country, Sarah Maldoror returns to the anthropological vision of documentaries like Las Hurdes or Jean Rouch's ethnographic documentaries, but unlike these, there is neither exoticism nor paternalism in the extreme hardships in this land of adverse conditions, instead a culture learning to live without tutelage.

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.
