Gaël Kamilindi, 2026, 20 min., French with English subtitles

A filmmaker sees the shooting of his film cancelled and begins looking for what remains of it, elsewhere, with another actor. What they explore together is no longer just a film, but a reflection on the stories that are silenced and the ones people take back for themselves. Through their conversations, the boundary between cinema and life dissolves, and the film becomes a space of intimate resistance, where thinking, desiring, and speaking become one and the same gesture.

GAËL KAMILINDI, originally from Rwanda, is an actor and filmmaker and a graduate of the National Conservatory of Dramatic Arts in Paris. He has worked with leading theater and film directors including Bob Wilson, Krzysztof Warlikowski, Ivo van Hove, and Thomas Ostermeier, and has been a member of the Comédie-Française troupe since 2017. In 2024, he co-directed his first feature documentary, Didy, with François-Xavier Destors. The film has screened at major international festivals including Visions du Réel, IDFA, FESPACO, and Encounters, receiving several awards, including Best Documentary at the Mashariki African Film Festival and Brussels International Film Festival.
