"We need stories that speak to us about the world we live in, not a series of endless 'remakes’." Known for exploring body horror from a feminist perspective, French filmmaker Coralie Fargeat uses visual effects and visceral images combined with intense soundtracks to create atmospheres where violence and beauty coexist in a tension typical of the fragility of contemporary humanity. Inspired by directors such as Cronenberg and Carpenter, she redefines the genre with films that go beyond the screen, such as Revenge (2017) and The Substance (2024), which won the Best Screenplay award at the Cannes Film Festival. Fargeat is part of a generation of female directors with a feminist stamp whose work challenges not only the boundaries of the horror and science fiction genres, but also perceptions of power and the objectification of the body. Her work is a bridge between genre cinema and social criticism, which has not only earned her awards at international festivals, but also established her as a unique voice that challenges traditional aesthetics.

Cannes: Cinema as a Questioning of Reality

"Cinema is the art of capturing time, projecting a slice of reality onto the big screen. But what happens to reality when it is projected? For the audience, what is our 'reality' while watching a film? Do we truly possess any reality at all?" This reflective query arises from Arnaud Desplechin's short film, "Spectateur!" (Filmlovers!), showcased out of competition at the 77th Cannes Film Festival. A film festival without a "film about films" would be incomplete. Desplechin’s semi-documentary, se

Hello, Operator? Yes, I have a problem… with myself

"People always ask for something new, it's inevitable. At 50, well, it stops." Constructors are placing a star in the insignificant Hollywood Walk of Fame. We can see how it's built, how the honored star greets the crowd that screams her name, we can feel that fervor and, seconds after, we witness how the "decomposition" process starts. People's footsteps cause the logical time erosion of the material, snow that makes people's blood run cold falls from the sky, rain that can wet thoughts pours a
