Three young boys aboard a French naval vessel in 1974, unaware of the risks they run and the dramatic effects on our planet, take part in the nuclear tests in Mururoa, in the Pacific.

DRAW YOURSELF Director: Gilles Porte Documentary Booth Unifrance 33 Producers: 3B Productions, Gédeon, S’Imagine

A windowglass tour of the world proposed to children too young yet to read or write; they simply take a place in the frame by drawing a picture of themselves... A right of passage that starts with the first self-portrait and ends with the written word... It ‘s the story of each and every one of us, of what we once were and of the difficulty of remaining Draw Yourself as we once were...

INTO OUR OWN HANDS Director: Mariana Otero Documentary Producer: Archipel 33

When their lingerie factory goes bankrupt, the employees— mostly women—attempt to take it over by forming a cooperative. As their project takes shape, they come up against their boss and the reality of the marketplace. Their little enterprise becomes a theater where, in an impish tone, fundamental economic and social issues are played out amidst the bras and panties. Out of their adventure and struggles together comes a new- found freedom.

For years Conrad Lang has been living off the Senn family; at first a childhood playmate of Thomas, later caretaker for the family’s summer home in Biarritz. The family used him as they felt fit and Conrad seemed content with the arrangement. But as his health slowly worsens, a strange friendship grows between him and Simone, the young wife of the family heir, as she listens to Conrad’s memories from his early childhood and notices that they somehow don’t quite stick to the family version. Conrad’s stories provoke such anguish in Elvira, the family’s matriarch, as if this harmless old fool somehow had the means of destroying her. Their friendship will soon lead Simone to stand up for Conrad and front an eerie Elvira, who could be far more dangerous than she appears.
