Man with Doves

A figure straight out of a novel by Victor Hugo. Each day, the hunchback emerges from the depths of the metropolis to perform a ritual of vivid and bizarre beauty in the shadow of the Centre Pompidou. The man is filthy and eccentric and insults the police officers who try to get him to move on. But he is also a tender and devoted magician with the power to unleash a storm of doves.

The Raft

In 1973, five men and six women drifted across the Atlantic on a raft as part of a scientific experiment exploring the origins of violence and sexual attraction. Nobody expected what ultimately took place on that 3-month journey. Through archive material and a reunion of the surviving members of the expedition, this film tells the hidden story of the project.

Glorious Accidents

Car crashes are instant art and sculptures made in seconds. At least to a certain Buenos Aires photographer, who spends his nights driving through the city in search of capturing the perfect accident. Meanwhile, another man is trying to find a legendary cock sucker who hides somewhere in the dark rooms of a gay sex club. Accidentes Gloriosos tells nine different stories of death and transformation. From the man who undergoes a heart transplant and wakes up with new and strange artistic powers, to the woman who receives a last letter from her husband, written just before he freezes to death in one of history s most dramatic polar expeditions.
