- Kunyaza is the name for the technique through which Rwandese women manage to ejaculate. In this tiny African country female orgasm is a matter of honor for men. This documentary, led by a young woman who is a radio star, offers a trip through the villages to recover, with humor and spontaneity, old local traditions about this culture of feminine pleasure: a millennial art that, however, some try to eradicate.

- The filmmaker Théo Angelopoulos died on January 24th, 2012, knocked down by a motorbike on the set of his final film. He was surrounded by his team, of which I was a member. In this unfinished film, he was telling the destinies of the victims of the Greek crisis. Ironically, the ambulance supposed to come to his rescue broke down because budgetary restrictions had made it impossible to maintain the vehicle. The crisis itself killed Théo. In a letter addressed to him in the form of a film, I return to Greece. The list of victims of the crisis has only grown longer, this destitution echoing another that Théo had sensed was coming: that of the massive arrival of refugees who find themselves trapped in Greece by the closure of the borders. Yet citizen resistance is being organized and fights every day to bring those in danger of obliteration out of the shadows.
- Fifty years ago, the entire Creole population of the Chagos Islands was expelled by the British authorities. This secret operation took place to facilitate the leasing of the main island, Diego Garcia, to the US government so that it could build one of its largest and most secretive military bases overseas. As the military lease is about to expire, Chagossian exiles are attempting to recover their home in the middle of the Indian Ocean from Great Britain. The charismatic woman leading their fight in the UK is Sabrina Jean. Through unrelenting activism, including the exile community's improbable participation in the World Football Cup for Stateless People, she strives to keep the flame of hope alive in her community with one single goal: to return home. But as the elders disappear and memory fades, time is running out.
- At the end of the world, three men face the southern sea and its dangers. They leave their families, brave the cold and the storms to meet isolated fishermen in the sadly famous islands of the far south of Chile.

- Tom hides not only a deformed face behind his flamboyant Commedia dell'arte masks, but also a dark secret that won't be divulged until decades later. An atmospheric Gothic fairytale.

- This film is a journey into the unknown, along with Pippo Delbono and his actors, during the rehearsals of 'Orchids' which starts without any text, where all the actors, through free improvisation, become the authors of their own vision of reality, of their true life.

- Yugoslav Nobel Prize winner Ivo Andric's novel 'A Bridge over the Drina' describes a years-long conflict of the local people of the Bosnian region around the town of Visegrad. This short documentary rightly evokes associations with the novel. As a kind of annex to the novel, the film combines the scenes of the bridge with the testimony of Mevsud Poljo from the nearby village of Vlahovici, who was pulling dead bodies out of the Drina in order to identify them. Although we do not see Mevsud, we get to know how many men and how many women were among the dead, whether there were traces of violence or rape on them - And the Drina keeps flowing under the bridge.
- A fascinating, revealing, and poetic documentary exposing the disappearance, obliteration, and omission of a culture. The disappearance of a humanist equilibrium during the Ottoman Empire and the willful erasing of the nonconformist history of a city that did not adhere to the nationalistic ideology that turned the Balkans upside down and continues to do so. The ancient Jerusalem of the Balkans has become a forgotten city, a "judenfrei" city. Organized like a stroll around the urban environment and accommodating the words of survivors of the extermination camps of 1943, the film puts together fragments of memories and nostalgia to witness the exceptional past of the city. A Thessaloniki-born director tries to raise his own cinematic voice, to refuse the elimination and silence which are like a second death, more definitive than the first.
- A wig can sit on a someone's head for a lifetime or just a few hours. What does it hide? What story? What search for identity? Manuèla, Stéphanie, Nicole and Madeleine are 4 women who, for different reasons, have lost their hair and had recourse to the services of Christel, a social beautician. This movie tells of their daily lives and their fight to (re)build their image and femininity.
- A poetic inquiry following the paths of Stephan and Henri, two men who died in their forties a few years ago, one in Brussels and one in Brest.
- In military terminology, INNER LINES are parallel routes near the enemy lines, enabling evasion. Around Ararat, "the white centre" that illuminates "the darkest times", they are used by messengers and their carrier pigeons to connect the communities scattered by conflict. Pierre-Yves Vandeweerd continues his powerful political and poetic body of work (LES TOUMENTES, LES ETERNELS) with this film shot in 16mm between Iraqi Kurdistan, Turkey and Nagorno-Karabakh. Remaining faithful to a formal approach blending the outline of the film-image with the asynchronous sonic off-camera - harrowing testimonies, biblical narrative, whispered secrets, political discourses and rants, close or distant explosions -, he walks alongside Yazidis or Armenians ravaged by the insatiable Moloch of war. Voices bring humanity to bleak landscapes, bodies lean over to listen to age-old stones laden with memories and gazes burn with inextinguishable inner sorrow. Vandeweerd remains the essential and exacting filmmaker-geographer of lost territories.
- While most of Cameroon's Pygmies still live in the bush, a handful of families have moved to a paved road in a village where their daily lives balance between maintaining traditions and adapting to Bantu society. The film takes us to meet the Pygmies of the road, a small community at a crossroads.
- In Abidjan, in full social mutation, we discover an Ivorian youth lacking benchmarks after the political and economic crises of recent years. We follow Rolex the Portuguese and his companions, young people in their daily activities, scam and small business to survive. They introduce us into the crazy nights of Abidjan and their whirling lives. Ages between 15 and 25 years old. Scam, sex, alcohol, fetish, sacrifice. For them, scamming the Europeans is collecting the colonial debt.
- "Those Waiting For The Birds" is the portrait of a game: "pigeon racing". Through passionate pigeon racers, such as Robert Calonne, an old mason and famous champion, Serge Taillieu, a young unemployed but diligent player, or Herbots Philip, who made breading pigeons a lucrative business, the film director is contemplating this sport today. As a kind of "horse racing of the poor", it has became a professional sport with a lot of money involved: thus dealing with doping, increased costs, international trades and speculations.
- In the middle of the seas, in the enclosed space of an ageless cargo ship, four characters seemingly freed from all land.
