Murmurs In The Distance
Synopsis
On 8 March 1979, protests by Iranian women against the suppression of their rights by the religious regime reached a climax on the streets of Tehran. Apart from a few minutes’ footage from the documentary Iranian Women’s Liberation Movement: Year Zero (1979), no video recordings of this historic event have survived. What cannot be erased, however, are the memories of those who took part first-hand.

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.
