  Interview with Catherine Buffat and Jean-Luc Gréco, directors of Alphonse s’égare    Why were you interested in social relations among young people, and in this case boys, at the precise moment when they are transitioning toward autonomy and adulthood?

  Interview with Albéric Aurtenèche, director of Sigismond sans images (Sigismond without pictures)   Can you tell us about Sigismond’s insistence that he is Echo and not Narcissus?

  Interview with Alexandru Petru Badelita, director of I Made You, I Kill You  I Made You, I Kill You is about the disillusions and misunderstandings of a parent-child relationship.

  Interview with Pierre-Emmanuel Urcun, director of Rase campagne   How did you choose the shooting location? The Monts d’Arrée are a very particular place known to everyone in Finistere.

  Interview with Lee Hanjong, director of Blues with me    First of all, could you explain the title, Blues with me?  The title refers to the main character’s will to interact with people around him.

  Interview with Zoe McIntosh, director of The World in Your Window     Firstly, could you explain the title? Without giving away the story, the film is set in a caravan park and explores the theme of grief.
