* 1973 in Sierre. Claude Barras studied illustration and infography at École Emile Cohl in Lyon as well as computer graphics at ECAL in Lausanne. He has already made several award-winning short animation films, most recently ROOM 69 (2012), which was selected for numerous festivals. ICE FLOE (2005) was also presented in the International Short Film Competition in Cannes, while festival hit LE GÉNIE DE LA BOÎTE DE RAVIOLIS (2006) screened at more than 50 festivals. MY LIFE AS A COURGETTE is Barras’ much anticipated feature-length animation film debut.
Courgette is a rather unusual nickname for a 9-year-old boy but his unique story is surprising-ly universal. After his mother’s sudden death, Courgette is befriended by a kind police officer Raymond, who accompanies Courgette to his new foster home filled with other orphans his age. At first Courgette struggles to find his place in this strange, at times, hostile environment. Yet with Raymond’s help and his new found friends, he eventually learns to trust, finds true love and at last a new family of his own.

Therese and Ralph Gähwiler lead an idyllic “bourgeois” life in a small Swiss town. Therese dabbles in art and walks her pooch. Ralph is working on his move into local politics. His mot-to is competent, committed, outspoken. Ralphs political ally is his even more conservative and uptight neighbour Peter, whose wife Monika is the epitome of nouveau riche. Therese and Ralph’s lives are turned upside down when an itinerant gardener Ngundu, badly injures him-self on their land. As Ngundu refuses to go to hospital and is unable to leave, they have no choice to keep him in the house – but out of sight. A satire / comedy-drama – Swiss style.

* 1977 in Argentina. Joint Swiss and Argentinian citizenship. Milagros Mumen-thaler received her degree in film directing from the Universidad del cine Buenos Aires in 2005. She has directed four short films, selected and awarded at many festivals. Her first feature ABRIR PUERTAS Y VENTANAS (2011), developed at the Cannes residence Cinéfondation, won the Pardo d’oro at the Festival del film Locarno and was screened at numerous international festivals.
Inès, 35 years old, is a photographer. She is in an emotionally fragile phase and begins putting together a book of personal poems and photo-graphs. Gradually, the process of bringing a book to fruition becomes a very personal and unfet-tered exploration of her past: of her relationship with her mother; the role of the family home in the south, which seems to have been frozen in time; and how the absence of her father – who disappeared in 1977 during the dictatorship – in-fluenced all of those years.
