Barking in the Dark
Synopsis
Marie Losier invites us into the mysterious and unclassifiable world of the Residents, emblematic figures of the American musical avant-garde for over 50 years. This cult collective, hidden behind their anonymity and iconic costumes, revolutionised the underground with their sonic experimentation and daring visual aesthetic. This playful, intimate portrait celebrates the extraordinary freedom of a band that never followed the rules.

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.
