Winter in Sokcho
Winner of the Best Fiction Award at the MCM in 2019 for her short film Homesick, Koya Kamura presents her first feature film, Winter in Sokcho, with an original score composed by Delphine Malausséna, supported by MCM and Sacem.
In Sokcho, a small seaside town in South Korea, 23-year-old Soo-Ha leads an uneventful life, balancing her job at a guesthouse with her personal life. The arrival of a Frenchman, Yan Kerrand, shakes her certainties and stirs deep questions about her identity. A nuanced narrative where the intimate intertwines with the discovery of oneself.

Fotogenico
In Fotogenico, Marcia Romano and Benoit Sabatier capture Marseille as we love it: a city of street art, color, rock'n'roll, eclecticism, and beauty rarely seen in cinema. Raoul arrives in Marseille where his daughter has passed away. Everything she had told him about her life turns out to be a web of myths. He discovers, among other things, that she had recorded an album. He then becomes determined to reunite the band, no matter the cost. Even if it means doing so in his underwear. A deeply inventive and bold work, above all free, with a striking original score composed by Froid Dub.

Between his Krump training and his encounter with Marie, a Greek architect, his future seems on the verge of changing. Far from the clichés of how Marseille is portrayed in cinema, Dans la peau is a social film that demonstrates how passion and determination elevate.
