In an ultra-connected society where electromagnetic waves have invaded almost every space, three people suffering from electromagnetic hypersensitivity talk about survival in a world that seems increasingly inaccessible to them.

Whoever thinks that the pillory was something of the Middle Ages, probably hasn’t seen sites such as Dumpert where naming and shaming attracts thousands of visitors each day. Thanks to the smart phone and the digital era, you can gape at other people’s sexual escapades, their fights and their swearing. And all under the motto of being the guardians of morals. But are we really? Or are we just looking for that minute of fame?

FRENCH PREMIERE


Mohamed Nabil

2017 | 01:05:00

What happens with women in Moroccan prisons? Walls of concrete and silence are hiding a taboo, which is difficult to remove. The director Mohamed Nabil did everything to tell the story of Moroccan women's prison. After many difficulties and two years of waiting for a filming permit, he and his team were finally able to enter this secret world. In this inspiring and moving documentary, the protagonists are not only defined by their crimes, but tell the truth seen through their eyes. Interviews with former female prisoners unveil the unspeakable. The film raises provocative questions about the prison system and society in Morocco and offers remarkable pictures of inmates and prison staff.

 

 

 

 

 

 



October 4 - 14, 2018

An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. We prefer documentaries which succeed in representing the complexity of reality and discover in a new way its sensible and perturbing aspects on the same time accentuating the ambivalent and enigmatic status of reality in avoiding sterotypes and simplifing conclusions.
