The Other Country
Synopsis
On 4 August 2020, the explosion of the port of Beirut suddenly brought Lebanon back into my life. Being French-Lebanese myself, I could not stop thinking about it. For the first time, I decided to go there alone, without my parents, at the same age they left their country. Between diary and family portrait, this film is about my stay in Lebanon, a scarred country that feels so familiar and yet so foreign to me, my other country.

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.
