|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kachi Kachi Yama 堅々獄夫婦庭訓 | Tadanori Yokoo | Japan | 1965 | 8’ | ||
Known primarily as a graphic designer and artist, this animation is one of the few films that Tadanori Yokoo made. The frenzied energy of this film, coupled with the artist's distinct, bold style, is inimitable. |

A quirky, amusing observation about sex and religion. |

Memory and time blends ever so dreamily in this film, transcending between space and the unknown. |
||||||

This film keenly reflects the horrors of beauty standards and identity in a deeply unsettling way. |

Reusing found footage from classic Vietnamese films, imposed with text from a short story (Eleven Sons) by Franz Kafka, the film examines the role of women, the representation of women with a fresh and critical lens. |

A profoundly moving, honest record about family and queerness. |
||||||
| How Are You? Comment ça va? | Caroline Poggi , Jonathan Vinel | Frankrijk | 2025 | 31’ | ||
