‘Short films selected at Magritte, part three’

TOTEMS de Paul Jadoul (9')

A woodcutter is working in the forest. A tree crashs and wedges him. The hurt turns the woodcutter into deer, bear, fox...

RENAITRE de Jean-François Ravagnan (23')

Sarah gets a phone call that is a blast from the past. Alone and lying to her nearest and dearest, she has only one thing in mind: to cross the Mediterranean and return to Tunisia. Driven by powerful emotions, she undertakes a journey in order to keep a promise she once made to the man she loved.

ESTATE de Ronny Trocker (7'26")

On a sunny Mediterranean beach, time seems to be frozen. An utterly exhausted black man crawls painfully off the sand while around him the holiday-makers seem not to notice him. Freely inspired by a photo taken by Juan Medina on the Spanish beach of Gran Tarajal in 2006.

L’ŒIL SILENCIEUX de Karim Ouelhaj (24'59")

Bernard is an ordinary man who is moving to a new flat. While he is settling in, he finds a hole in the floor. He soon realises that he is able to spy on the private life of the young woman living downstairs.
At first, he resists temptation, but the situation degenerates into obsession and madness.

POUR UNE POIGNEE DE GIROLLES de Julien Grande (7')

While the whole family prepares lunch, grandpa goes looking for mushrooms. The task is not easy at all and he can only find a handfull of girolles.

LE PLOMBIER de Méryl Fortunat-Rossi et Xavier Seron (15')

Tom, a Flemish comedian used to make cartoons character’s voices, replaces offhand a friend doubler. He finds himself in the studio of a pornographic frenchspeaking film.

In the presence of Jean-François Ravagnan (director Renaître) and Xavier Seron (director Le Plombier)
