Synopsis
Inspired by Pablo Neruda’s Book of Questions – a collection of lyrical, unanswerable poems written as paradoxical and playful interrogations of nature, life and the cosmos – this experimental miniature by Heidi Piironen weaves poetic inquiry with visual abstraction, through the rarely used mordançage technique. The veil-like formations it creates evoke the fluid, fragile, ever-changing essence of rivers, suggesting they are living entities, much like us.

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.
