American independent feature-length films

Back to Competitions

Always the privileged place for discoveries and unexpected visions, the American independent feature-film competition offers this year a surprising selection around the « coming of age » archetype and with very different approaches, from choral comedy to psychological thriller, from animation catastrophe to intimate drama. Two documentaries complete the selection, both focusing on the other side of the American Dream, from Hollywood to Baltimore. We hope that this selection will allow the festival-goers to discover, once again, more about the new facets of American independent cinema.

logo  Each screening will be presented by the films crews and will be followed by a Q&A moderated by Cinéma Teaser.
