First with What You Gonna Do When the World's on Fire? about the wave of police brutality who hit the African-American community in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in the summer of 2017, followed by Golden Age, who observes the lives of very rich pensioners in a world full of parties and entertainment in their retirement home in Miami.

Monday 8 April, 20:45, Grande Salle and Thursday 11 April, 21:15, Capitole Leone SWISS PREMIERE. It is the summer of 2017. A tidal wave of police killings has hit the African-American community. A group of Black Panthers seeks justice. But racism and violence are engrained in the cogs of white justice. Roberto Minervini creates a highly charged counter shot to his previous film Louisiana (The Other Side), presented at the Festival de Cannes in 2015. Shot in highly contrasted black and white, the film is as lyrical as it is political. Golden Age Sunday 7 April, 18:15, Théâtre de Marens, Monday 8 April, 10:00, Colombière and Tuesday 9 April, 18:00, Théâtre de Grand-Champ, Gland Pahokee Wednesday 10 April, 18:00, Grande Salle et Thursday 11 April, 10:00, Grande Salle Dreams of the Outback Saturday 6 April, 18:30, Grande Salle and Sunday 7 April, 10:15, Grande Salle WORLD PREMIERE. Australia once wondered if the Aborigines were part of the wildlife or if they should be considered as human beings in their own right. In the region of Kimberley, Jannik Splidsboel sets off to encounter members of this community. Some have painfully erased their culture while others are trying to find it again and keep it alive.
