Emilie Muller
Yvon Marciano | 20m

César nominated and winner of Best Short Film at the London Film Festival, Emilie Muller follows a young actress who delivers an animated, yet apparently unexceptional, performance at her first audition in this deceptively simple black and white film-within-a-film, with a twist!

Mon petit frère de la lune
Frédéric Philibert | 6m

Told in black and white line animation, a little girl narrates her own explanation of why her autistic younger brother is different.

Squash
Lionel Bailliu | 27m

An Academy Award® nominee for Best Live Action Short Film, SQUASH, is a 30-something high testosterone tale of two men involved in manipulation and mind games, ultimately turning into, and ending, in a story of blackmail. All of which is being revealed during a highly competitive and violent match of French squash.

Ya Basta!
Gustave Kervern and Sébastien Rost | 11m

A 2012 Cannes Film Festival selection, Ya Basta! is a Diane Arbus meets One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest tale which follows a group of mentally disabled students and their teachers on a charming escapade to find their destiny.
