From Louisiana to Québec, Switzerland to France, and even French Creole communities in Missouri, this program highlights the richness and range of Francophone storytelling. Together, these films reveal a cinema that crosses cultures and continents while remaining firmly grounded in distinct histories and places.

In a dystopian society where kissing means death and currency is measured in slaps, a woman’s growing bond with a salesgirl sparks desire, jealousy, and dangerous consequences. Vicky Krieps narrates this bold and absurdist tragicomedy that stars Zar Amir Ebrahimi (Holy Spider) as unhappily married Angine. When she becomes infatuated with naïve young Malaise (Luana Bajrami, Portrait of a Lady on Fire), their secret connection grows into a dangerous romance that tests the limits of their repression-fueled world. Shot in striking black-and-white, the film creates an atmosphere both surreal and chilling, reflecting a culture that polices intimacy while encouraging violent exchanges.

Two People Exchanging Saliva

A bassist experiences a revelation on stage. The next day, accompanied by his girlfriend and their young baby, he sails along a winding river in search of a place to be together.
Un bassiste vit une révélation sur scène. Le lendemain, accompagné de sa blonde et de leur jeune bébé, il navigue le long d’une rivière sinueuse à la recherche d’un endroit pour être ensemble et se retrouver.

Who Will Remember Us

Chasse Galerite is a passionate hunter whose untamed desire often leads him into trouble. Set in the Illinois Country in the late 17th century, this humorous and imaginative folktale, cherished by Missouri's French Creole community, is told in the local variety of the French language by one of its last native speakers.

Chasse Galerite

A young man dies, and his flickering consciousness blends in a maelstrom of fading symbols and memories. He has to forgo what bound him to life, accept the inexorable, and enter the void.
