La Desesperación de los monos
Synopsis
The first films from Patagonia - where I grew up - depict a land that no longer exists, as the thousand-year-old Araucaria trees have been partly replaced by pine trees. Near my new home in Brussels, I find Araucarias adorning the front yards. How did these plants become a petit-bourgeois fashion here? I confront these images with contemporary scientific images, used by a laboratory to explore plant modification. What can these modes of representation tell us about our times?

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.
