Genius Loci<\/strong>
\nDirected by Adrien M\u00e9rigeau, 16m
\nThis Oscar\u00ae-nominated short centers on Reine, a young black woman and a loner. She sees within the urban chaos a mystical oneness that seems alive and guides her in her path to self-discovery and transformation.
\nBy a Hair (COLCOA Competition 2019)<\/strong>
\nDirected by Lauriane Escaffre and Yvonnick Muller, 21m
\nIn three days, Elodie must take the hair removal exam for her beautician diploma. Her father would prefer she work with him in his butcher\u2019s shop, but loves her so much that when her friend doesn\u2019t show up to be her model for the exam, he reluctantly takes her place… with hysterical results.
\nHaute Cuisine<\/strong>
\nDirected by Merryl Roche, 24m
\nSince Marie has joined the team at multi-starred chef Bruno Mercier’s restaurant, all she thinks about is improving herself. But Thomas, the sous-chef who manages the kitchen on a day-to-day basis, is wary of this possible rival. During her shift, Marie cuts herself, letting a few drops of blood fall into and mix with her sauce, giving new meaning to the term \u201cblood rivals”.
\nSo What if the Goats Die?<\/strong>
\nDirected by Sofia Alaoui, 23m
\nAbdellah, a young shepherd living in the Atlas Mountains, is forced to brave the snow in order to get food and save his goats. Once he arrives at the village, he faces a supernatural phenomenon.
\nAnd Then the Bear<\/strong>
\nDirected by Agn\u00e8s Patron, 14m
\nIn this fanciful animation, houses will burn through the night. Men and women will tremble. Hordes of children will come together and howl as they dance alone on the ashes like wild bears. It only takes one shout to wake them all from their slumber!
\n<\/strong>Sukar<\/strong>
\nDirected by Ilias El Faris, 10m
\nThe beach in Casablanca is a playground for kids and the site of adolescent romantic encounters. But the police are always watching and no forbidden temptation is permitted. When a fight distracts their attention, two young lovers seize the opportunity to kiss\u2026
\nOlla<\/strong>
\nDirected by Ariane Labed, 27m
\nOlla replied to an advertisement on a dating website for women from Eastern Europe. She has just moved in with Pierre who lives with his elderly mother. But nothing goes as planned.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
