Love Hurts 2020 (6.4)

Sam is a shy, mysterious and inconspicuous teenage girl, who falls in love with Troy, leader of an ultraviolent teenage gang, who does not feel physical pain, nor knows what love is. Together, against everyone and everything, they will face a series of obstacles trying to separate them, meanwhile figuring out what love and pain are. Debuting at Curtas, French filmmaker Elsa Rysto presents a love story mediated by ultraviolence, in a modern variation on the classic story of Bonnie and Clyde – or of the more contemporary Mickey and Mallory from “Natural Born Killers”. “Love Hurts” is a simple yet sensitive narrative about the so-called growing pains.

Borderline 2021

Elise Guillaume's "Borderline" parallels the complementary patterns of human and nonhuman forms, from tree limbs, spines and trunks, placing untamed nature adjacent to a clinical medical setting. The film reflects on these worlds as co-dependent, connected and combined – and how this relationship can enable rebirth and overcome pain.

Eventual Horizon 2023

Filmed in the Arctic, Eventual Horizon threads together the artist’s experience of insomnia, grief, and hope. In this viscerally engaging film, a parallel is made between the experience of mourning a loved one and ecological degradation. Perceiving grief as an active element of hope, Eventual Horizon focuses on the transformative and healing power of these states.
