Et que l’espérance est violente

About This Movie

So, this one—'Et que l’espérance est violente'—it's a video letter, which you don't see a lot in cinema. Directed by Anne-Marie Faux, it marks the 20th anniversary of the Côté Court Short Film Festival. The tone feels very intimate and reflective, almost like you're eavesdropping on someone's thoughts. There's a certain rawness to it, the pacing is contemplative, allowing the viewer to really sit with the emotions. The themes dive into hope and struggle—very poignant, you know? And while the director remains somewhat unknown, the atmosphere she creates feels personal. It’s not about flashy effects but rather that connection through performance and narrative. Definitely something unique in the landscape of short films.
