(Director Christophe Cognet meticulously retraces the footsteps of some of the extraordinarily courageous men and women who risked their lives, while prisoners in WWII concentration camps, to secretly photograph the atrocities the Nazis were hiding from the world. In his quest to decipher the circumstances and stories behind each of those photographs, the director constructs a veritable archeology of the photographic image as an act of defiance..)

(Emmanuelle Nicot‘s unflinching first feature, "LOVE ACCORDING TO DALVA", serves up a bold, disquieting and psychologically complex study of a child suddenly confronting years of captivity and sexual abuse at the hands of her father. Adamantly proclaiming that she’s not a child, but a consenting woman who’s in love, 12-year-old Dalva rejects the very notion of her victimhood. The extent to which she’s locked into that perverse mindset and the incongruous role she was groomed to perform is chilling to behold. Even after she’s rescued and under the protection of social services, she insists upon wearing makeup and coquettish outfits to school. The journey she’s literally forced to embark upon — to reverse that process and somehow become a child again — will not be an easy one. Yet the director’s wisely dispassionate approach, and the resolve of her deft young actress, make that journey all the more profound and eloquent.)

“If you were to speak of a difficult genius who reinvented an art form, created masterpieces that will endure forever, then sent it all crashing down, the better to reinvent it again, all the while with his back turned to the audience— Why that would be Miles Davis. Or Jean-Luc Godard.”…
