18:00 HIMSELF HE COOKS,
dir.
Valerie Berteau, Philippe Witjes, Belgium/India (64 min)
In the Golden Temple in Amritsar hundreds of volunteers prepare 50 000
free meals every day. The spontaneous choreography of many philanthropists
hands reveals the essence and atmosphere of this fascinating place.
20:00 DeafKidsLand, dir. Stefano
Cattini, Italy (80 min)
Santa Croce is an ancient mansion that
austerely rises in the countryside near Modena in Italy.
The silence of the dawn is interrupted only by the long refrain of the prayers
of the nuns that live in it. And, in September, when the school open, even
Santa Croce transforms itself in a teaching place, where about 150 kids from 3
to 10 years old are welcome. Twenty of them are deaf.
They come in Santa Croce without sound, without formed words. For breaking the
silence and finding the key for communicate with the external world they have
to train really hard, but above all they have to spend long time far from their
mums and dads.

19:00 ZANZIBAR
MUSICAL CLUB, dir. Philippe Gasnier, Patrice Nezan (85 min)
At sunset in the streets of the old town, the musical clubs of Zanzibar buzz
with the joyful sounds of Taarab, the music of Zanzibar, whose style reflects
two millenniums of cultural exchange and the island's location at the
crossroads of the spice route. Vehicle of cultural identity and living
tradition, the performance of Taarab is intrinsically linked to both the
ceremonial and everyday life of the island. Its gentle rhythms accompany the
listener on every step of his road, from the most solemn to the most blissful
moments.
In 2009, the three-Michelin-stars French chef Michel Bras decides to hand his restaurant over to his son Sebastien, who has been working with him for 15 years. ENTRE LES BRAS tells the story of these extraordinary dishes prepared by a father and a son, in the hilly landscape of Aubrac region. We follow this gastronomic transmission, and enter intimately in their family ties.
