Jean-Marc Phaneuf, an unmarried electrical engineer, travels to Burundi as a volunteer for the NGO Radio du Monde. He finds a country ruined by grinding poverty, famine, war, disease and appalling social inequality. At the same time, he meets a joyful, brave people hungry for happiness, knowledge and human dignity. The camera that becomes his personal diary also helps Jean-Marc expose the shaky, ineffective workings of NGOs. His investigations turn up a few praiseworthy examples of international cooperation, but on the whole he finds himself drawn to a terrible, inescapable conclusion: humanitarian aid is a utopian mirage. After falling victim to an attack and losing whatever ideals he still had, Jean-Marc becomes entangled in an impossible relationship. He is ultimately forced to leave Africa in disgrace.Read More »

Un clan de vieilles copines (qui vont aborder la cinquantaine avec beaucoup d’enfance encore) se prend les pieds dans un tapis d’un fait divers : deux d’entre elles, qui vivent ensemble, sont victimes d’un cambriolage dans leur maison de campagne.

Puisque chaque conduite, chaque point de vue, pavé de bonnes intentions , a son enfer de cohérence. L’événement fait exploser des sensibilités déjà exacerbées par des options de vie et des choix politiques différents, des jalousies peut-être, l’usure du temps…Read More »

The director Mia Engberg says this about her film and other the Dirty Diaries films she produced: “A couple of years ago I was invited to make a short film with a mobile phone camera for a film festival. I made Come Together, where a number of women film their own faces while masturbating. The film was published on a web site and led to strong reactions. Many comments were negative, such as “Hell, they look ugly. They could’ve at least put on some makeup.” I found the comments interesting. They show that we are still stuck in the old notion that a woman’s sexuality should above all please the eye of the spectator – not herself. Read More »
