Berry Movies, La Châtre 29/10 2010: And the winners are....

This year we participated in the so called selection committee for Berry Movies, deciding what films should be given the chance enter into the competition at Cinéma Lux, La Châtre.
From 64 films in different categories we chose 10.

Below: Two trailers for the event in itself (and not participating films) but below them you can watch the three films rewarded and some of the other participants.
Enjoy!




Below, we find the film that won: 'Get out', made by:
Charlotte Boisson, Julien Fourvel, Pascal Han-Kwab, Tristan Reinarz and Fanny Roche.
It's one of the films I positioned among the three best.
It combines an intelligent story about 'coming out' in a double or more senses
with a very good art work when it comes to the animated part.

One might believe that this is the story about being locked in
and experiencing the life in a 'cell' or the psychiatric ward.

The security within the four walls is to be prefered ahead of the exterior hostile society.

But is this really the psychiatric ward?


Now to the film that came in second place: 'Faut qu'on parle' ('We need to talk').
Director: Lewis Eizykman.

Another of my favourites displaying the problems with communication
and how we communicate or when we anticipate something
and when that, what we anticipate, is not the anticipated matter.

Preparing oneself to say something very personal and important
tend sometimes to develop into a catastrophy
if you don't express yourself clearly, as we can see!

In third place came 'Le Syndrome du Timide' ('The Shy Syndrome')
by Pierre-Axel Vuillaume-Prézeau.
What is a shy person and how does he/she differs from others - if he/she differs from others?
An odyssey through the world of the shy, the criterias of a shy,
the tactics of the shy, ending with the question of who is and who is not?



Other films not rewarded but participating:

'La fuite' ('The Escape') by  
DMA Cinéma d'Animation à l'Institut Sainte Geneviève,
a film I appreciated very much, 
not least the idea that I found personal and unique:



'Timber' by Matthieu Limon and Miguel Randrianasolo:



...and finally 'Djamal' by Blackchats:
