The Lion's Share: A History of the Mostra

This documentary takes us on a journey through the great story of the Mostra, rich in archives and in new testimonies that highlight the festival’s key moments, the great shocks of cinema and what makes Venice unique on the world map of the seventh art.

Louis de Funès, Créature/Créateur

The comic art of Louis de Funès (1914-1983), like that of Totò and a few others, ultimately transcends the limits of the films in which he appeared, thanks to the dynamic expressivity of his persona. Drawing on contributions from critics, scholars and the actor’s colleagues, this documentary deciphers the keys to the de Funès phenomenon, intelligently analysing the peculiar characters of his facial and corporeal mimicry, the plasticity of his gestures, and the doubling of character and creator (in the sense that, once he became successful, ‘Fufu’ effectively became the author of the majority of his films, often limiting the director’s role).

La première marche

June 2019: four students lead the first-ever Pride March in Saint-Denis, working-class suburb of Paris. 50 years after the Stonewall uprising they pave the way for LGBT struggle in a territory no one had dared to think of, raising new issues such as intersectionality.
