A documentary that observes the daily lives of three LGBTQ+ families through the perspectives of their children. With an intimate and attentive camera, it explores family life as it is shaped by care, affection, listening, and presence rather than by fixed structures or traditional models. Small gestures, shared moments, and ordinary routines reveal how bonds are formed and sustained within homes built on chosen kinship and mutual respect. By focusing on proximity and tenderness, the film gently dismantles normative ideas of family, offering a sensitive portrait of domestic spaces where love, identity, and belonging are continuously negotiated and reaffirmed.2040

Bizarre Dinosaurs

star 6.4While dinosaurs may have been some of the mightiest creatures ever to have walked the earth, they also could have been among the most bizarre. With extreme, exaggerated body parts, some predators were loaded with outlandish or disproportionately sized appendages. Join world-renowned paleontologists and travel the globe to unearth some of the lesser-known but most surprising members of the dinosaur family: Mamenchisaurus, whose neck alone was longer than the rest of its body; Chasmosaurus, adorned with a fashionable crown of frilly spikes to attract the eyes of potential suitors; Spinosaurus, with massive extensions from its vertebrae that could have supported a sail or a hump; and Parasaurolophus, whose tube-like head crest may look odd to us, but was a mating magnet back in the day.Numéro zéro

Numéro zéro
1971
star 8.5A family portrait in which the director profiles his grandmother, Odette Robert. Eustache includes in the film the conditions of its production — he is seated at the table with her, pours her some whiskey, speaks with the camera operator, manipulates the clapboard at the head and tail of the reels, and even takes a phone call. Robert, who was seventy-one, speaks rapidly and tells the story of her life, starting from her early childhood in villages in the Bordeaux region of France. A shorter version of the film ("Odette Robert") was edited in 1980 to be broadcast on television on TF1. The complete film only gained exposure in 2002, when it was salvaged by Boris Eustache, Thierry Lounas, João Bénard da Costa, Jean-Marie Straub, and Pedro Costa.
