THURSDAY,JULY, 2th AT THE HEART OF THE BODY Seven short films from European filmmakers explore multiple angles of the human body, dislocating it, fragmenting it, cutting it from head to toe with the sharp edge of video. Laurent Pernod contemplates the ephemeral in faces from the past while Raphaël Dupont is fragmenting figures by making them hatch under light like eggs. Antonin De Bemels creates visual effects from body and light movements, in a dance which alters our perceptions, while Michaël Cros makes human silhouette dance in fireworks. Nathalie Rich-Fernandez crashes children and tongues against a window, transforming them into frightening or disgusting monsters.

FRIDAY, JULY, 3 ZOOFILMS Five short movies, three visions of life and death. David Jhave Johnston searches our conscience with
his metaphorical, surrealistic and amusing confessions, than plunges
us in an abstract and fascinating portrait of the cycle of life and
death. The draining away of time and the changes it slowly introduces
are a poetic ordeal that Rachel Echenberg imposes on her body and her
mind in front of the camera. Mihai Grecu inverts the conditions of life
on Earth to invent the hybrid man, half–terrestrial, half-aquatic
living in weightlessness. Mihai

SATURDAY, JULY, 4 EGO TO EGO In these four short films, each is invited to enter the intimate sphere of a character, in solo in front of the camera. Absorbed by this proximity, we find ourselves one-to-one with the image… facing the mirror in which we are reflected. Chloé Leriche and the Filles électriques
extract from their subconscious an anxious paranoid delirium while Bea
de Visser plunges the individual into unfathomable sea, in a search
for mysteries of the unconscious. On his part, Owen Eric Wood, with
an exaggerated superficiality, paradoxically undresses social imaging
and unveils its construction process. Chloé
