Synopsis
Kabuki resides in a male body they don’t recognize. In search of identity, they awaken their soul. They are nourish ed by the world. In the impermanence of the material body, they transcend. Kabuki is a stop motion animation film that poetically narrates the learning and life transformations of the transgender character Kabuki. Inspired by the many real stories of transgender people exterminated every day by intolerance, the film follows Kabuki's search for self-acceptance and identity in a violent and sexist world.

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.
