The Lost Boys of Mercury

As children in the 60s and 70s, Dédé, Michel and Daniel were sent to the Belle Étoile Catholic “correctional” facility located in the Savoie region of France. There, they were beaten, humiliated, starved and broken. With the help of director Clémence Davigo, they finally reunite to break their silence. A moving chronicle in search of memory and justice.

Stuntwomen

The daily life of Petra, Virginie, and Estelle, three stuntwomen, from the dangerous film sets, where they face all kinds of deadly dangers, to the safety of their homes.

Le Journal d’une femme nwar

Rose, 29 years of age, has one goal: leaving France and “going back to Noirie” [Blackland]. When Matthieu Bareyre, one of her closest friends, read her diary and offered to make it into a movie, she was given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to deal with some old demons of hers.

That Which Does Not Kill

Ada is 19. She agrees to have dinner at the home of a boy she knows. It all happens very quickly, she does not defend herself. It is in 2013, after a screening of her first film, that Alexe Poukine meets her: a woman of her age who shares with her something that happened nine years before and that she does not know what to do with.
