Synopsis
Inside a medical training facility, one of the “Da-Vinci” surgical robots gains autonomy and self-awareness. It starts wandering around the building and discovers a hybrid space where clinical progress blurs with echoes of warfare. Created by the U.S. Army in the 1980s, Da-vinci’s initial purpose was to operate on wounded soldiers in remote battlefields. The film reflects upon the boundary between healing and killing: being a tool of care as well as a posthuman weapon of precision.

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.
