Un Bon Garçon | Belgium | 2023 | 19min | Drama. In French, with English subtitles.

SYNOPSIS: Maxime is 16. A promising swimmer, he is about to enter a sport study program. One afternoon, the police interrupts a training session to question his coach, who has been accused of sexual abuse by one of the club’s young swimmers. These accusations will crack the armour of silence that Max has built to survive the abuse he himself suffered years earlier.

Entre Chiens et Loups | Switzerland | 2022 | 20min | Documentary. In French, with English subtitles.

SYNOPSIS: The film follows the 60+ senior team of FC Lausanne Sport. Beyond the dimension of football, the film tries to tell their relationship to the body and their passion that push them to continue playing despite their ages.

Les Roses et les bleus | France| 2022 | 22min | Documentary. In French, with English subtitles.

SYNOPSIS: Through their locker room chats, training sessions, and the balance they find between coquettish touches and muddied knees, three teenage rugby girls question their own prejudices and those of their social circles toward female and male attributes in our society.
