In a beautiful act of collective creation, Eric Baudelaire shares the director’s chair with twenty schoolchildren in Un film dramatique. The result? A kaleidoscope of spontaneous self-representation, an ode to both subjectivity and collaboration movingly exploring the possibilities of cinema.

With her debut feature, Sophie Letourneur brought a refreshing breeze to French cinema by depicting the lives (and parties) of sassy young women. After a long period of rehearsals, and a tight script based on moments she had lived with her own friends, Chicks retains its vivid, strident realism.
