- DirectorNarimane MariStarsMichel HaasAn act of love, the portrait of a painter, an ode to life... We had the day bonsoir is all these things. "It's in the sound of an ending that the music of the living is played, of which we are all, wherever we're present, an invented note." These are Narimane Mari's words to describe the film made in tribute to her late partner, the painter Michel Hass. As the notes of Amor Amor by Norie Paramor resonate across the opening images - water lit by twilight - names scroll across the screen, the names of people, living or dead, unknown or well-known, whose presence and voices populate this cosmic film. Mari puts together fragments of life gleaned over the years, during films or wandering the streets, and makes them dance with the images of her accomplice. Michel Haas' mischievous gaze is echoed by those of strangers picked up on a Parisian boulevard, and his body as he works by the bodies of Loubia Hamra's children bathing in the Mediterranean, his tender speech by the languid voice of Elvis Presley. In this way, Mari continues the painter's conversation with the world. She builds a refuge to shelter his creatures, sculpted animals and other characters made of paper, letting them cohabit with their companions in life, in thought and in music. Between the silences, spaces for remembrance, seeps the breeze of words from loving gestures - reminiscing about happy memories, calling each other to describe them, recounting them in voice messages. The director thus creates an intimate dialogue that goes beyond death, enhancing the poetic operation by superimposing some of the words onto the image as subtitles or set out like poems, like the notes in a musical score that sing the music of the living. A veritable love song, We had the day bonsoir offers thanks to the exuberant vitality of Michel Haas, an inexhaustible source of life for Narimane Mari and for us.

- DirectorSusanna HelkeStarsTiina MollbergMarja VaaramaJaana PilvinenDocumentary-material based choir couplet portraying the privatization of the elderly care sector in Finland. Quotes from the news media, real life political debacles, and the rhetoric with the Promises of Privatization are celebrated and which have taken over the public airspace of society and as well as real life experiences of the care workers are turned into the lyrics of serious but playful choir pieces composed by Anna-Mari Kähärä. Women working as carers in the elderly care sector sing these songs in various settings of their workplaces. Retirees, elderly citizens and dementia patients, those who have been pushed in the shadows of society and who have been coined as the "sustainability gap" sing impudent songs playing with the newspeak of the economical lingo of our era. These absurd singing tableau vivant images, elevated flash mob scenes, are juxtaposed with the documentary episodes in which the film captures, through several perspectives, testimonies and documentary characters, the crisis of the Finnish elderly care sector. By combining songs and documentary elements, the film portrays the collision between the ethics of care and the logic of profit and austerity. We have all accepted the view that we cannot afford providing decent care of the ever growing population of elderly citizens. Meanwhile, the elderly care sector has been taken over by multinational corporations.

- DirectorOtilia BabaraIn the early 90's, women left Moldova in large numbers to provide for their families. Unable to return home, they found a peculiar way to stay in touch: sending large cardboard boxes filled with gifts and food you could only dream about in those days. In return, their children would send videotapes. This exchange became a ritual among thousands of families. Video cameras and presents allowed these mothers and children to share glimpses of their realities while being apart. As time passed, it became clear that the mothers' return was an increasingly distant prospect. Children turned into teenagers and, disillusioned, they stopped recording. Through these intimate private archives, Otilia Babara, a Moldovan filmmaker living in Brussels, depicts the fragility of family bonds through the eyes of a generation of mothers and daughters who were forced to live apart in order to survive. While doing so, she portrays a post-soviet country caught in a crossroads of history. A country whose women were unwittingly put in charge of making the transition from communism to capitalism.
- DirectorAnna DziapshipaAnna Dziapshipa was born in Tbilisi to an Abkhazian father and a Georgian mother.

This situation had a profound effect on her childhood and identity, caught in the middle of two warring countries. In Self-Portrait Along the Borderline, the filmmaker returns to the Abkhazian family home built by her grandfather, located in a country that is off-limits to Georgian citizens and still not recognized by Georgia. Combining unique fragments and archives from her family collection, and from television footage and radio recordings of the time, she offers a rare personal and political biography of the relations between Georgia and Abkhazia.
