- Dolphin Man draws us into the world of Jacques Mayol, capturing his compelling journey and immersing viewers into the sensory and transformative experience of free-diving. From the Mediterranean to Japan and from India to the Bahamas, we meet Mayol's closest friends and family, including his children Dottie and Jean-Jacques, and world free-diving champions William Trubridge, Mehgan Heaney-Grier and Umberto Pelizzari, to reveal the portrait of a man who reached the limits of the human body and mind, not just to break records but hoping to discover the deeper affinity between human beings and the sea. Narrated by Jean-Marc Barr, the actor who famously portrayed Mayol in The Big Blue, the film weaves together rare film archive from the 1950s onwards, with stunning contemporary underwater photography, to discover how the 'dolphin man' revolutionized free-diving and brought a new consciousness to our relationship with the sea and our inner-selves.
- Atop a mountain in Southwest Serbia the Jankovic brothers live in the womanless village of Zabrdje. This hilarious documentary tracks their quest to bring women back, even if that means turning to Albania and the women of their old enemy.
- In the Magway region of Myanmar, a country home to one of the oldest petroleum industries in the world, live husband and wife Thein Shwe and Htwe Tin.

- Fumi and Kazu are life partners, both professionally and privately: they run the first and only law firm in Japan set up by an openly gay couple. The lawyers know all too well the realities of being a minority in a conformist society, where the collective unity is absolute and often maintained at the expense of individual rights and freedom. Not being part of the majority could lead to prosecution by law and alienation by society at large - illustrated by the cases that the two lawyers take on. The individual freedom is viewed as a privilege not a right, and the fundamental human rights of equality and security are only extended to the majority. In a 2014 report, Amnesty International slammed Japan for 'veering away from global human rights standards', while the World Economic Forum places Japan 101st out of 145 countries in the global gender equality ranking, far behind developing countries such as Rwanda and the Philippines. Laws of Love and Other Things follows the two lawyers as they enter into the lives of their clients; each revealing the hidden diversities of the homogeneous and conservative society. As the two lawyers work hard to defend the rights of their clients, they have their own dilemma to deal with - to raise a family of their own in a society where their partnership have no legal recognition or protection. The film explores the universal concept of love, family, and equality with the personal stories of the characters revealing modern Japan in transition. The film also poses the questions - what are the risks of being an outsider in your own country? What happens when you don't belong to the masses?

- At the southern edge of the Sahara desert stands The House of Migrants: a safe haven for those on their way to Europe, or those returning home. Here they come to terms with their individual migration stories. How do you feel, what do you need, when your dreams have been buried in the sand, or when they are waiting to be lived?
- The director, a married woman without children, deals with the issue of infertility in the country of Niger, by sharing stories of stigmatized wives, husbands who refuse to be tested (or who abandon the women and take up with other wives.) The project was inspired by the death of the director's own mother in childbirth.
- They are young and strong...professional rugby players. Their career is short and demands extreme physical and mental commitment. Through rare access to French rugby club LOU in Lyon, the viewer is invited into the work-out and locker rooms where players get in shape or get debriefed, massaged and patched-up after the game. Throughout a week of hard work for team and staff, the film captures the tension building up to the day of the match. While "the show" on the field unfolds as a backdrop, the camera explores the workings of an intensely commercial, globalized sport. The film closes in on the steely bodies of athletes trained in combat, never losing sight of the fact that they are as human as the next man.
- Unemployed youths are swelling the ranks of gangs sowing violence in Zinder, Niger. Aicha Macky explores the origins of the radicalization in her hometown and the prospects for escaping it.

Through their work, we discover a unique genre of flourishing literature that is political, dark and above all concerned with a sense of extreme disorder created by the state's involvement in crime.

- Originally from the outskirts of Benin City, Nigeria, Charity was 24 years old when her mother was brutally murdered in 2014. Fearing for her life, she decides to go into debt to smugglers who promise her a better future in Europe. Arriving in Italy at the end of a perilous journey through Africa and the Mediterranean, she is brought by this network to Nantes, where the traffickers force her to prostitute herself to pay back the 35,000 euros she owes them. But encouraged by the pastor of the evangelical church she attends and by members of the Paloma association, she dared one day in 2016 to push the door of a police station to file a complaint.
