“‘Orphan’ turns out to be des Pallières’ most
accessible film for general audiences.“
Four moments in the lives of four female characters.
A little girl from the countryside, playing a game of hide and seek that turns
to tragedy.
A teenager, caught in an endless succession of runaways, men and mishaps,
because anything is better than her desolate family home.
A young woman who moves to Paris and has a brush with disaster.
The grown-up at last, an accomplished woman, who thought she was safe
from her own past.
Gradually, these characters come together to form a single heroine.

“‘Endless Poetry’ is the most accessible movie Jodorowsky
has ever made, and it may also be the best. “
Santiago de Chile, during the thrilling years of the 40s and the 50s.
“Alejandrito” Jodorowsky, aged twenty, decides to become a poet against
the will of his family. He is introduced in the inner circle of the artistic and
intellectual avant-garde of the time and meets Enrique Lihn, Stella Diaz,
Nicanor Parra and many other promising but anonymous young writers
who will become the masters of Latin America’s modern literature. Totally
immersed in this world of poetic experimentation, they live together as
few have dared to live before: sensually, authentically, freely, madly.

“Its utter and complete lack of cynicism makes
‘The Together Project’ sort of extraordinary.“
Samir, a tall, lanky, 40-something crane operator from Montreuil, in the
outskirts of Paris, falls head over heels in love with Agathe. He discovers she
is a swimming instructor at the local swimming pool, and, for lack of a better
plan, he decides to enlist as her student… although he can swim perfectly.
But his lie only lasts for 3 lessons, and Agathe hates liars. The truth surfaces.
Agathe is furious. The end?
Not quite! Agathe goes to Iceland on a business trip, putting an ocean
between her and Samir. But it is without reckoning with his feelings and his
stubbornness...

“A finely chiseled family drama
that’s at once new and familiar,
immersive and deeply poignant.”
Mathieu is 33, but he has never met his father. His late mother always told
him that he was the result of a casual encounter.
One day, Mathieu receives a call telling him that his father was Canadian,
and that he had just passed away. He also discovers that he has two step
brothers and decides to go to the funeral in order to meet them. But once
in Montreal, he realizes that nobody is aware of his existence or even
interested in it. He is alone, in hostile territory…

In an impoverished peasant family, a little girl called Hélène Jégado
grows up in isolation, unloved, battered by the hardships of life and

Convinced she must serve Ankou, the spirit of Death in local mythology,
Hélène poisons and kills her mother. For the rest of her life, she will
travel the length and breadth of Brittany in search of her next victim,
finding work as a cook and spreading death on her way.
She would become one of the biggest serial killers in history. To this day,
no one could understand her motives or pierce her mystery.

“‘Wrong Elements’ is ‘The Act of
Killing’ for the Ugandan Civil War.“
SPECIAL SCREENINGS
Uganda, 1989. A young Acholi rebel guided by spirits, Joseph Kony,
forms a new rebel movement against the government: the LRA, The Lord’s
Resistance Army. An “army” that grew by abducting teenagers – more
than 60 000 over 25 years – of which less than half came out of the bush
alive.
Geofrey, Nighty and Mike, a group of friends, as well as Lapisa, were
among these youths, abducted at 12 or 13. Today, in their effort to rebuild
their lives and go back to normal, they revisit the places that marked their
stolen childhood. At the same time victims and murderers, witnesses and
perpetrators of horrific acts that they did not fully understand, they are
forever the “Wrong Elements” that society struggles to accept.
Meanwhile, in the immensity of the Central African jungle, the Ugandan
army still continues to hunt the last scattered LRA rebels. But Joseph Kony
is still out there, on the run…

2008. The world economy is hit by the worst crisis since 1929. And only
one man, a young trader, is the alleged responsible for the first and most
extravagant in a series of scandals that will shake the financial markets
worldwide: Jérôme Kerviel. Indeed, the biggest banking loss of its kind in
history (almost 5 billion euros!) is discovered at the French bank Société
Générale and soon attributed to this quiet, low-profile, 31 years old
employee...
Hired as a simple clerk at the same bank, 8 years before, no one could have
predicted that Jérôme Kerviel would go so far, so fast. He became the star of
the trading floor, nicknamed “the cash machine” by his colleagues.
But how could he gamble supposedly alone - and in secret - 50 billion euros?
This film is based on a true story.
