Composition
Unwritten Letter
A collection of poems by the Peruvian poet Blanca Varela is the starting point for a beautiful cinematic letter about traces of absence and restrained emotions in an unfinished love story. What is transient and what is preserved?
Before Then
A young Chinese filmmaker wants to confess something to her grandmother that has been weighing on her for years. She offers linguistic and cinematic codes to help decipher the secrets in this enigmatic and personal short student film.
Paci
Choreographer and film director Juliette Roudet returns to the island Corsica after a long absence. She wants to question her estranged uncles about events in the past—but when that doesn’t work, she tries to find the truth through dance.
