Le maire
Una atípica película de muertos vivientes con fondo social y político, en la que se plantea qué pasaría si los fallecidos de los últimos diez años retornasen a la vida, y de cómo reaccionarían las autoridades y la población ante el hecho. La resurrección de los muertos –la mayoría de ellos de la tercera edad– influye en la vida de una placentera ciudad francesa que tendrá que volver a acogerlos como ciudadanos en pleno uso de sus derechos.
Le vieux gardien
Para Niemans el hombre que encontraron emparedado en un monasterio de Lorena no es una víctima cualquiera. Las marcas esotéricas grabadas a su alrededor y el extraño rito de su sacrificio hacen pensar en algo muy distinto… Paralelamente, en la zona se van multiplicando los asesinatos. En todos los casos unos misteriosos monjes dotados de una fuerza sobrenatural eliminan de manera espectacular a una serie de desconocidos y luego desaparecen sin dejar rastro. ¿Quiénes son estos ángeles del apocalipsis que van sembrando el terror? ¿Qué relación tienen con las profecías de las sagradas escrituras? Niemans y Reda (Benoît Magimel) no entienden nada, hasta que se dan cuenta de que todas las víctimas tienen el mismo nombre y la misma profesión que los apóstoles.

Richefort
Iranian Iradj Azimi directed this French historical drama re-creating events depicted in the famous 1819 painting The Raft of the Medusa by Jean Louis Andre Theodore Gericault (1791-1824). The ill-fated voyage of the frigate Medusa begins when it departs Rochefort for Senegal in 1816. After striking a sandbar off the African coast, 150 civilians row safely to shore, but Captain Chaumareys (Jean Yanne) orders 140 soldiers and sailors onto a raft (minus supplies) and has it cut loose. Only 14 survive from the 140, creating a scandal back in France. Gericault (Laurent Terzieff) later talks to three of the survivors while researching his painting. Work on this film began in 1987, but sets destroyed by Hurricane Hugo caused delays, so the film was not completed until 1990. However, it then remained undistributed until an incident in which writer-director Azimi slashed his wrists in front of French Ministry of Culture officials.
Léon Blum

Marcellin
A series of seemingly unconnected events and 50 important speaking parts make this film a jigsaw puzzle to be solved by the viewer. Martin and Claire were separated in childhood, and are brought together by a series of coincidences. A tragic car crash is central to the story, but seemingly unimportant events can hold great significance. Through a montage of different film stock and techniques director Diane Bertrand creates pieces of a puzzle, from which the viewer has to piece together a story. That's the premise of the film, and it is solvable. You just have to work a bit...
