Marie-Lola Terver
Marie-Lola Terver was born in Clermont-Ferrand where she navigates between the city, the country, and the internet. After moving to Paris, she studied literature and cinema and worked on films as a set dresser. In 2018, she co-directed a short film with Anaïs Le Berre, Zéphyr et le Roi. She loves Jacques Demy, Eric Rohmer, and cheese.
Paul Jousselin
Paul Jousselin is a true Parisian. Any animal, insect, or bird discovered outside the French capital fascinates him. He studied cinema at La Fémis in the sound department and now works as a sound mixer. He secretly dreams of making it in French rap.

The Ice Tower
In Lucile Hadžihalilović's spellbinding fantasy drama, an orphan (Clara Pacini) becomes enthralled by a movie star (Marion Cotillard) playing the Snow Queen in a fairy tale film adaptation. Winner of the Silver Bear for Outstanding Artistic Contribution.
Where to Land
Hal Hartley's first new film in a decade is a melancholy farce about mortality and what we'll call "late middle-age". Bill Sage is a semi-retired filmmaker who isn't dying faster than the rest of us but who behaves like he might be.
Innocence
Lucile Hadžihalilović's first feature is a suggestive, subversive fairy tale set in a private school for young girls, the kind of film David Lynch might have made, if he'd been born a French woman in the early 1960s.
