  • 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
  • Sophia Carr-Gomm on Return

    Sophia Carr-Gomm is the director of short film Nobody’s Darling, which we reviewed when it screened at the London Short Film Festival. She has more recently directed Return.

Courts métrages Japonais (et où les trouver)

par Clotilde Couturier
J’aimerais faire une courte présentation de la présence du court-métrage japonais en France. Ce mois-ci, j’ai eu la chance d’assister au Festival International du Court Métrage de Clermont-Ferrand, organisé par l’association « Sauve qui peut le Court Métrage », active depuis 1981. Je me rends chaque année depuis 2007 au Festival dans l’espoir de voir les derniers courts-métrages japonais. En (…) Lire la suite »

Incendies -December 2010

We can discuss the adaptation on film of a theatrical masterpiece, the horrors of war, the realism of the action, the focus of the actors, the ambition of the filmmaker, the caustic presence of the lead or the curious absence of actual Arabic (…) Continue Reading »

Santiago 73 Post Mortem (sortie le 16 février 2011)

par Kwet
De ce qui se passa en 1973 au Chili, il en est question et il n’en est pas. Du coup d’état de Pinochet et des horreurs qui s’en suivirent on en entend parler et l’on en entend rien non plus. De la folie des hommes et d’un homme en particulier, on en discute et ça ne se discute pas. Pablo Larraìn nous explique qu’il n’a pas réalisé ce film comme une leçon d’histoire, qu’il ne cherche pas à (…) Lire la suite »

Shahada – Protestation du soi

par Clotilde Couturier
« Shahada » traite avant tout de drames humains. En tant qu’être humain, j’ai envie d’exprimer les choses simplement : « Je te hais », « Je t’aime », « J’ai envie de toi » ! Lire la suite »

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)

par Kwet
Réalisé par Jim Sharman, avec Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Botswick, etc... Il y a parfois des films qui vous semblent tellement géniaux et mythiques qu’on en oublierait presque qu’il est possible que certaines personnes sur Terre n’en aient jamais entendu parler. The Rocky Horror Picture Show (RHPS pour les intimes) est de ceux-là pour moi. Issu du mouvement des Midnight Movies (…) Lire la suite »

by Abla Kandalaft

Questions-Réponses autour de Falsos Positivos

by Abla Kandalaft
The film uncovers the shocking truth behind the phenomenon of the falsos positivos, or false positives, a term that outside a scientific context is used by Columbians to designate the civilians killed by the military and dressed up as guerillos to hike up the army’s FARC executions statistics. Incredibly, although the subject matter is uncompromisingly grim, this is no tear-jerker. The viewer (…) Continue Reading »
