Far as the old Nouvelle Vague, his rich legacy lives on.
Most of its proponents remain active and continue to demonstrate, almost 50 years later, the life of your project as clearly highlight the latest achievements of Eric Rohmer and Jacques Rivette.
The later generation, who attempted to register their images in the air in your own time, ranging from politics and the disappointment post-68, survive beyond the disappointment and nostalgia, as certified by the recent work of Philippe Garrel and Jacques Doillon.
Faced with these models, a new generation of filmmakers that emerged in the late eighties, with directors like Olivier Assayas and Arnaud Desplechin, open new horizons to a movie which, true to the heritage of modernity, continues to seek new ways of expression either through transnational or questioning the role of the image in its own present.
In turn, some new artists (Nicolas Klotz, Serge Bozon, Mia Hansen, Love, Bruno Dumont, and Valeria Bruni Tedeschi), stylistic seeking footholds in the work of their predecessors, while keeping the flame alive fresh impetus to find a proper way, it is no longer liable for the Nouvelle Vague, to build a strong image of French cinema exciting moment.
The festival includes screenings of short films from the distributor Autour de Minuit, and the feature film The Elementary Particles, based on a novel by French writer and filmmaker Michel Houellebecq

SYNOPSIS
Mia Hansen-Love is a debutant director 27 years, with previous experience as an actress and film criticism.
Perhaps because of all that, is able to highlight the radical nature of such false staging designed exclusively for film festivals.
In Tout est pardonée has over ten years in the life of a couple, an Austrian and French at the beginning of the film have a six year old daughter, but does so based on cartoons and ellipses.
The episodes are choosing to have that, episodes: no condensation of tragedy or joy, no calculations or to the side toward the hyperbolic or lethargy, pure life, that's what's in a narrative whose tone can be described as miraculous taking into account that the components thinning the relationship between Victor and Annette have to do with heroin and adultery.
Nor is conviction in the film (and no conclusion), the director opted to put the camera in the service of the story I wanted to tell, and the sleaze and sensationalism were out.

SYNOPSIS
Is well known that Sarkozy's sister-brand is actually a major star of French cinema today, thanks to his work with a wide range of filmmakers.
Actresses is her second film in the direction, and if for the first was inspired by the comfortable family life (his father, a powerful Italian industrialist, moved to France because of threats by the Red Brigades), now used to design the métier self-punitive comedy.
It is a fickle actress in the mid-life crisis, whose anxieties are placed well at work with a demanding director (Mathieu Amalric), or in the excitement that causes the actor who plays her partner (Louis Garrel) or in discussions with his friend / assistant (Noémie Lvovsky, here also co-writer) and her mother, determined to seek boyfriend ... and starring Valeria's mother in real life.
As Asia Argento in Scarlet Diva, but with the added concern of the biological clock, Bruni-Tedeschi builds a fascinating portrait of the vain and insecure world of the queens of the set.
