Synopsis
In the early 18th century, in the blue mountains of Jamaica, enslaved Africans who had escaped from plantations founded autonomous communities of Maroons. Queen Nanny, their supreme leader, led their struggle for freedom. She is one of the most celebrated figures from Jamaica, and embodies the victorious fight against slavery and colonialism, as well as the resistance of the island’s women. Her spirit remains very much alive. The Windward Maroons, from the community of Moore Town, celebrate their Queen every year in dance ceremonies. Simone Harris, one of her descendants, revisits the history of this legendary figure.

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.
