Dir. Justine Triet
Shadows in the House (36 min) | Fifteen-year-old Gustavo spends his days in a social center outside São Paulo that the Evangelical church runs. His mother Giselle, an alcoholic, is summoned to the center, where the church’s pastor and social worker pressures her to join the congregation.
On the Spot (26 min) | This short documentary transports viewers into the eye of the 2006 anti-CPE youth protests in Paris. Director Justine Triet’s ballet between an arms-length and up-close approach lends a nuanced perspective regarding those descending upon and covering the demonstration.
