- 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.

- 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?

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 they exposed the lies of the board of Europe's second largest car manufacturer, the false excuses and empty promises, the reasons behind the weakness of the French State.

- 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.
