Dangerous Liaisons: A Feminist Manifesto?
Overview: Well known for its exploration of seduction and revenge, the “Dangerous Liaisons” by Choderlos de Laclos caused a scandal from its first publication in 1782. Despite – or because of the scandal – the book was a top-seller. Since then, it stood the test of time. Combining eras, continents and people, the novel is adapted around the world. Marvelous tool for reflection on the female condition, social satire announcing the Revolution, remarkable work on the conflicting nature of love but also of the gender war, consecration of the power of the words, a libertine manual… “Dangerous Liaisons” is all of these at once.

Body of Crime
Overview: "Corpus delicti": object that materially proves the existence of a criminal offense, a crime. Filmmaker Léolo reverses the perspective and asks in this docufiction what society does with the bodies of those who break the rules and resist power. The film successively gives a voice to the mutilated victims of police brutality and to a young fictional gay activist, carried by both his love and his devotion, but crushed by the legal system and prison. The film asks essential and necessary questions about the difficult intersection of art and politics, expression and action, justice and violence.
