Kayije Kagame

Claire (Kayije Kagame from Saint Omer, IFFR 2023) is an ambitious businesswoman working in La Défense, but the cold corporate environment amplifies her loneliness, pushing her to the verge of breakdown. The office is a prison and the only way out is to burn it down. A psychological horror, with a 1990s-inspired noir aesthetic, with To Exist Under Permanent Suspicion Valentin Noujaïm offers a genre-blending glimpse into the microaggressions Black women face in the workplace.

Tribunal de Saint Omer. La joven novelista Rama asiste al juicio de Laurence Coly, una joven acusada de matar a su hija de 15 meses al abandonarla a la subida de la marea en una playa del norte de Francia. Pero a medida que avanza el juicio, las palabras de la acusada y los testimonios de los testigos harán tambalear las convicciones de Rama y pondrán en duda el propio juicio.

A highly secure conference centre, nestled in the mountains. Hugo Radi combines a creative way of filming this locus of power with two fictional voice-over accounts to construct a dystopian world with real contours. This speculative film seems to draw inspiration from the most frightening elements of our contemporary societies.
