  • Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival 2026

    Europe’s largest (and the world’s second largest) film festival back, nestled in the heart of France’s wild, volcanic region of the Massif Central. Its international competition, made up of 12 programmes of shorts, is one of the richest platforms for storytelling from around the world. The... continue
  • Arab picks from LFF 2025

    Aside from our recently reviewed Palestine 36, the BFI London Film Festival marked the festival run tailend for a number of films from the Arab world. Highlights include Erige Sehiri’s Promised Sky, a rare, necessary, and beautifully dramatised account of migrant women from the Ivory Coast living... continue
  • Palestine 36 - Harrowing and all too rare retelling of the...

    Palestinian cinema is distinctly prolific. The more efforts are made to erase Palestinians as a people and Palestine as a slice of West Asian land, the more urgent the storytelling becomes. 2025 has already seen a number of much hyped premieres and releases, but the novelty this year seems to be... continue
  • In Vermiglio, the cold bites but it also keeps you alive.

    1944. Wartime Italy. Icebound village. Maura Delpero’s Vermiglio (2025) is truly an exquisite winner of the Venice Film Festival’s Grand Jury. The slow-burn family saga unspools the glimpses of joy swallowed by the void of war. It has the essence of a memoir with the period film rooted in the... continue

Short of the Week: Joanna Quinn’s Britannia

by Abla Kandalaft, Lucile Bourliaud
This week’s short is an un-PC, explosive, speeded up history lesson: five minutes encapsulating a few centuries’ worth of British conquests. Joanna Quinn made a name for herself as an animator back in the 1980s, her cartoons and dark humour are (…) Continue Reading »

Court de la semaine : Britannia - Joanna Quinn

par Lucile Bourliaud
Le court métrage de la semaine nous offre un cours d’histoire en accéléré : cinq minutes pour retracer plusieurs centaines d’années de conquêtes britanniques. Le résultat, détonant, est tout sauf politiquement correct ! Joanna Quinn est un grand nom de l’animation anglaise. Son coup de crayon est immédiatement reconnaissable, tout comme son humour féroce qui sévit depuis les années 80. (…) Lire la suite »

La preuve dans Don’t even think about it, court-métrage de la jeune réalisatrice norvégienne Jannicke Stendal Hansen. Trond-Søren vit seul dans son petit appartement, entre sa télé et son ordinateur.
