SPAGHETTI WESTERN: COLTS, SLAPS AND BEANIES [52’]
The inspiration for great contemporary directors
The myth of the cowboy was born in the American studios, but when we talk about Westerns, one name keeps coming up: Sergio Leone, the great architect of the so-called "spaghetti" Western, because it was made in Italy.
This genre, initially intended to be purely mercantile by producing low-cost imitations of American Westerns, facilitated the emergence of new talents.
The spaghetti western became a true genre thanks to directors such as Leone, Corbucci, and Solima, as well as the music of Ennio Morricone. It will then, in turn, influence international cinema, notably by inspiring great contemporary directors such as Quentin Tarantino.
BREATHE IN BREATHE OUT [10x26’]
A yoga retreat that turns into a nightmare
Sophie and Vicky are two young women who move in the same circle of friends but do not like each other. The only thing they have in common is their date of birth. For their birthday, they receive a joint gift from their friends: a "yoga healing" course in the forest. Worst of all, they have to share the same room.
The retreat takes a nightmarish turn when a participant is found dead, apparently murdered. Two policemen arrive, but one of them seems more interested in protecting the property owner's reputation than solving the crime.
Forced to stay on during what they consider to be a poorly conducted investigation, Sophie and Vicky must pool their efforts to identify the killer and save their skins before joining the list of victims.
