- As an experiment, Mehran Tamadon asks exiled Iranians to interrogate him as if they were an agent of the Islamic Republic. A renowned actor with first-hand knowledge of such mistreatment takes up the challenge.
- Although they were risking their lives by doing so, prisoners in concentration and extermination camps took photographs and even managed to smuggle canisters of film beyond the camp gates.
- A prison cell is set up in an empty room on the edge of Paris. Three former political prisoners re-act how they were once interrogated and tortured.
- An atheist, Iranian filmmaker Mehran Tamadon managed to convince four mullahs, all believers in the Islamic Republic of Iran, to come and stay with him for two days and engage in discussion. In this confined space, daily life is combined with debate, an unremitting demonstration of the problematic issue of how to live together, when each side's understanding of the world is so contrary?
- Once symbols of wild nature, forests are undergoing an unprecedented phase of industrialization. The loss of traditional know-how, the imprudent use of fertilizers and pesticides, as well as monoculture, which follow the contemporary agricultural model, have led to a dreadful reality. A documentary that urges us to think if we really want to transform our oxygen providers into green deserts.
- Forty protagonists, witnesses and victims look back at the 1989 massacres on both sides of the Senegal River, the border between Mauritania and Senegal, in order to understand what really happened.
- Why did my grandmother have a lobotomy? By drawing the threads of this drama, I'm exploring the links between psychiatry and the society of its time and the very particular place of women in this history.
- This imaginary documentary tells the story of a post-mortem meeting between a young French filmmaker and his former neighbor, Lutz Dille, a great photographer who sank into oblivion of the history of art.
- In the Landes de Gascogne forest, bird cages are hoisted up to the tree tops with pulleys. A man on watch in a large low hut camouflaged by pine needles awaits the opportune moment to pull the strings. A strange and fascinating woodland theatre... Bucking all commentary, Marine de Contes depicts a practice in all its ritualistic complexity. A city dweller and a woman, so doubly an outsider, she holds her breath along with the small group of attentive watchers. Without reneging on its status as an ethnographic documentary about the techniques, space and vocabulary of wood pigeon hunting, THE GAME also takes an interest in the community that the sport sustains, in an identity that binds generations and in the distribution of the sexes (women visibly are only passers-by). Waiting is an integral part of the hunt, filled by learning - even in one's eighties - how to play Candy Crush on a smartphone, or by telling stories in the Gascon dialect. The waiting is all the more fruitful for the filmmaker as it soon appears to be the mirror of her own documentary filmmaking: when you film without a scenario, you surely also set up a dispositif that acts as an "event-trap", capable of closely espousing the image and sound of an elusive passer-by's sudden intrusion into the frame. The increasingly loud and disquieting noise of a pine tree being felled suggests that wood pigeon hunting will soon be no more than a folkloric memory. A hand-over - at least metaphorically speaking - has taken place.
- Ten years after his father's untimely death, Paul Costes mingles the family's present and past Super-8 images. Behind the humor, the gap between the death of a family member and the feelings it creates.
- Accompanied by her father, who took part in the reconstruction of Beirut in 1992, Srage wanders through Dalieh, a small city-center port where the last families of fishermen are soon to be evicted as the district is privatized.
- On arriving in Esmeraldas, Ecuador, Patrice Raynal finds himself immersed in the tumult of a carnival. The music and dancing - more ambiguous phenomena than first appears - provide the through-line for his first-person narrative.
- With a few shots, Denis Cointe introduces us to a luxurious garden plunged in deep silence, quickly interrupted by some fragile notes mixed in with the birdsongs. Like an interior music, these sounds accompany a long fixed shot showing us a woman in a wheelchair, her hand wrapped in a handkerchief.

- Tehran, June 2013. Iran prepares to elect the new President of the Islamic Republic. In front of their TV, they comment on the presidential campaign broadcast on national channels: the jokes that accompany the parade of candidates betray the disappointment of the spectators. After the 2009 riots , with the democratic impulse bloodily suppressed by the regime, how can the Iranian people still believe in politics?
- The portrait of an Iranian actress living in Theran.
- In the footsteps of his grandfather who was a member of the Camel Corps during the French Mandate in Syria, Lucas Vernier takes us on a thrilling road movie to meet a people and their memory as they are going to be ravaged by war.
