HOWL OF A FISH - HURLEMENT D'UN POISSON -
SEBASTIEN CARFORA

This is the story of Julien, a poet who starts working in a call center as a survey operator. In need of money, he needs to accept and deal with his boss, a rigid and not very smily young woman. The days go by and Julian is surrounded by anonymous persons doing the same job that he is doing - asking people on the phone if they're happy with their car. However, one stranger on the other side of the handset seems more interested in him than in the survey, and wakes him up from this modern, oppressive and alienating world.
Touching, human and realistic. A wonderful story about being marginalized.

Two friends decide to try different beaches on a hoy summer day - the lake and the sea - . The sun shines, they ride their bikes, but suddenly, it's not that perfect and simple anymore.
He says: "Just imagine, in a few hundred years, this lake will have disappeared. It'll be nothing but a big, mosquito-breeding swamp."
She answers: "Why aren't you staying for good?"
A perfect summer day and a bear. Gorgeous colors and very sensitive.

A man, a recorder, an idea: being able to record silence. Not a fake silence. An absolute one.
Anxious, creative, tense, a wonderful yet simple idea - a fantastic short film.
