FILM LINEUP
DETAINMENT
Dir. Vincent Lambe | Ireland | 30 min
Two ten year-old boys are detained by police. A true story based on interview transcripts from a case which shocked the world and continues to incite public outrage across the UK today.
FAUVE
Dir. Jeremy Comte | Canada | 17 min
Set in a surface mine, two boys sink into a seemingly innocent power game with Mother Nature as the sole observer. Alone in the wild the two boys play around. Complicity evolves into a confrontation where one wants to have power over the other. Taking proportions larger than nature, this game will not prove as harmless as they thought.
MADRE
Dir. Rodrigo Sorogoyen | Spain | 19 min
A single mother receives a call from her seven-year-old son who is on vacation with his father in the French Basque Country.
MARGUERITE
Dir. Marianne Farley | Canada | 19 min
An aging woman and her nurse develop a friendship that inspires her to unearth unacknowledged longing and thus help her make peace with her past.
