FILMS 2024

Black Butterflies
Climate change has impacted the lives of Tanit, Valeria and Shaila, three women from very different parts of the world, but with something in common: they have lost everything due to the effects of global warming and are forced to migrate. This film tells their stories, their struggle to not disappear even though their place of origin no longer exists. Lives that, like those of thousands of people who suffer the consequences of global warming, deserve to be told.

Flow
Just when we thought that cat content was old news, along comes this animated film to leave us speechless. Winner of four awards at Annecy and screened at Un Certain Regard at Cannes, Flow immerses us (quite literally) in a hypnotic experience: a flood of biblical proportions forces Cat, – a private puss, much like all his feline friends – to share refuge with other species in a sort of Noah’s ark. After his prodigious debut, Latvian director Gints Zilbalodis takes another step forward in silent storytelling with this introspective odyssey, celebrated for its remarkable visual fluidity and signalling a future master of the genre.

Memoir of a Snail
The director of the emotional Mary and Max (2009) returns with a new stop-motion film that delivers equal parts of creativity, humor and tears. Grace Pudell, with a passion for snail figurines and romance novels, faces tragedy when she is separated from her twin brother, Gilbert, following the death of their parents. Devastated by life’s blows, she is presented with an opportunity to be happy again when she meets an eccentric old lady.

SAUVAGES
In Borneo, near a tropical forest, Kéria takes in a baby orangutan on the plantation where her father works. At the same time, Selaï, her cousin, takes refuge with them to escape the conflict between his nomadic family and the logging companies. Kéria, Selaï and a baby monkey named Oshi will face all obstacles to fight against the destruction of the forest.
