Serielizados Fest dedicates a space to French-speaking Short Form series, with the screening of the first episodes of Ceux qui rougissent (France, Switzerland), La dernière communion (Quebec) and La terre appelle Mathilde (Quebec)
Serielizados Fest dedicates a session of Short Form series that have in common their French-speaking origin. The festival will screen exclusively the first two episodes (respectively of each series) of Ceux qui rougissent (France, Switzerland), La dernière communion (Quebec) and La terre appelle Mathilde (Quebec).
In Ceux qui rougissent, a dozen high school students in a theatre elective find themselves stuck with a substitute teacher for a month. As they recite Shakespeare from a safe distance, the teacher abruptly interrupts their rehearsal. In an age where young people hide their emotions behind a mask, their heads either too high or too low, the question of intimacy becomes increasingly inescapable. A series that mixes the codes of fiction and documentary, created by Julien Gaspar-Olivieri, Maud Konan and Johan Rouveyre. Winner of the award for best series in the Short Form section of the Séries Mania Festival.
In La dernière communion, three priests decide to break with the Church and reinvent their lives in old age after the sale of their monastery. With no savings and no plans for the future, they take refuge in the home of the friend of one of them, where they try to cope with the modern world. As the misadventures of their via crucis unfold, what seemed like the apocalypse for these three ex-religious becomes a long-awaited redemption. Written by Eli Jean Tahchi and Myriam Farsaoui and directed by Eli Jean Tahchi.
Finally, in La terre appelle Mathilde, a 17 years old with a passion for astronautics suffers an accident while trying to tinker with a homemade rocket prototype. Mathilde, who had set her sights on becoming the next Valentina Terechkova (the first woman to fly in space), now finds herself missing an arm and enters a center for teenagers where she will learn to live with functional diversity. Created by Anthony Coveney and Lélia Nevert.
