The 2020 selection is organized around themes representing the diversity and vitality of French-language cinema.

Is This Real?

A thriller set in Dordogne, a poetic fable centered around a gang of young social outcasts, a biopic about an urban legend, a descent into hell alongside a journalist, or a plunge into a techno night in Marseille, these five singular films play with spectators' expectations and blur the boundaries between dream and reality.

Diversion by Mathieu Mégemont
The Night of the Plastic Bags by Gabriel Harel
