At 65, Pierre MARTIN (played by Pierre RICHARD), quantum physicist, inherits an inn in Canada from his aunt. He leaves Paris with his daughter Catherine (Sylvie TESTUD), an ambitious fashion journalist, and ends up in the dead of winter in Sainte-Simone-du-Nord, a typical tiny village in the Saguenay, a remote region of Québec. Away from Parisian life, Pierre sees an opportunity to pass on to his daughter the quality he values most: happiness. The allegorical vision of life in this cute little village quickly turns into a nightmare for some. The mayor of Sainte-Simone (Rémy GIRARD) endured Jeanne the French aunt for over fifty years. It is now out of question that he will do the same with a second generation of frenchies.
Director: Nicolas Zappi.

MARIA, young Russian artist slowly loses touch with reality and enters that painful endless game whose aim is fame but will end in something else. On that road to nowhere she encounters SOPHIE who will become her muse and will provide the 'body' of her new work. Art et Décès is a film about love to the point of madness. Maria's Love of art to death when madness is confused for inspiration. Sick love of Sophie for Maria. The decadent vision of a decaying world which holds to its asserted normality with all its might, sucked from its life. People living in this world try desperately to invigorate themselves with the seeming of life, to forget that they are already dead. Paris is the theatre of this struggle for existence. Paris, capital city of dreamers, artists, lovers and crooks. City of smoke and mirrors, decoys and traps where Myths are taken for reality. Through History and Myths, Paris has always been the theatre of passionate loves and tragedies, rises and falls of grand illusions. Art & Décès adds an act to this unceasing theatre piece of blood and thunder with excess and abuse. The story of a vicious circle, from bursting love to madness, kisses to slaps and back again. A road movie on a highway to hell. From romantic bridges, splendid palaces and bucolic gardens to the narrow shady streets and decadent crowdy boulevards, there is only one step and plenty of quicksands.
Director: Nino De Santis & Nickolas Klein.

All these years, novels and movies have always covered stories in which the main characters from the West travel to India where it becomes a journey of self-discovery. These characters are introduced to a very meaningful and spiritual world very different from the Western world, and through this journey their souls undergo changes. “BARE FOOT ON CAMPUS” tries to adopt a different perspective while turning this pattern of story-telling and narrative style upside down. In our story the main characters do not go to India, but India comes to them … An Indian girl named SHIVA comes to a university in Turkey as an exchange student and starts changing the lives of the students around her. And we follow the whole story through the eyes of our main character, a student named DENİZ. The story reaches its climax when the shocking secret of Shiva is revealed towards the end. The story is a well-balanced mixture of comedy and tragedy and it unfolds smoothly keeping the viewers in constant wonder what’s going to happen next.
Director: Ofer naim.
Those who remember Jerusalem in its splendor have called it the city of gold.
It is a city remembered for its glorious past but with no future. Instead of dealing with the present, people remain involved in the past. This is what stands in the way of Jerusalem’s survival.
What happened to “Jerusalem of Gold”?
Is there any hope or solution to the problems surrounding Jerusalem?
Which of the three religions should have the right to control Jerusalem?
Should Jerusalem be the capital city?
Maybe all that is happening in Jerusalem stems from the ”Jerusalem Syndrome” that causes one to lose touch with reality and ones stability.
Did Israel and Jerusalem’s leaders suffer from this syndrome as well?
This movie tries to answer many of these questions talking to a number of people from various walks of life in this unique city and through the many songs sung longingly about this city, over time.
