In Saint Pierre et Miquelon, a tiny French archipelago in the North Atlantic, a group of teenagers have just graduated from high school. Urged to continue their studies, it's time to leave for mainland France and Canada. Manon, Evie, Enguerrand and their friends are about to spend their last summer on the islands together. In the turmoil that precedes this leap into the void, these budding adults, like previous generations, are confronted with this particular moment in their lives. They'll have to leave. But they are islanders, and this departure has the air of exile, of uprooting with no certainty of return. As they leave adolescence, they will be uprooted from their land, crossing a border that is both symbolic and physical. The idea is that something happens here that is more observable than elsewhere, something that concentrates and accelerates the transformations of the teenagers' personalities.

I Don’t Have the Codes

Sep 22, 2025

This is the story of an ordinary man transformed by history. A simple baker from Besançon who became a political symbol of resistance. That of a France that knows how much it needs others to grow. Of working classes rejecting the siren calls of populism. He says: "I was nothing and I became a monster" to express the vertigo of his transformation. And so the baker entered politics, visited the United States in the footsteps of Martin Luther King, brought aid to the Ukrainians, and ran for legislative elections. Fearless. Fighting with all his heart. It is this inspiring, touching, and funny human epic that Pedro da Fonseca's camera followed closely, capturing his doubts, his hesitations, and his emotions.

In this powerful new film based on his bestselling book, sociologist Michael Kimmel maps the troubling social world where boys become men -- a new stage of development he calls "Guyland." Arguing that the traditional adult signposts and cultural signals that once helped boys navigate their way to manhood are no longer clear, Kimmel provides an astonishing glimpse into a world where more and more young men are trying desperately to prove their masculinity to other young men -- with frequently disastrous consequences for young women and other young men. Guyland offers a way for all of us -- parents, young men and women, community members, and professors and administrators -- to envision new ways to support young men as they navigate this often perilous world.

Three groups of adolescent girl friends from Quebec are going through tough changes. The process of inventing their own bodies and identity are being recorded on the move by their smartphones and shared with their peers from other parts of the networked world. Due to their strong need of external confirmation, they alter their lives into a series of retouched pictures and videos. The film camera, however, captures their feelings of void, loneliness and deep inner insecurities that are not so attractive for Periscope, TikTok or Instagram. An intimate portrait of adolescence is made with full comprehension of experiencing and self-presentation in a generation growing up on the brink of the real and virtual worlds.
