This rotation highlights an emerging generation that is asserting its identity and aspirations. Through a diversity of narratives and sensibilities, these films give voice to their perspectives, reveal their fresh outlooks, and unveil intimate, creative, fragile, or powerful journeys. This diverse youth questions its connection to the present, looks to the future, and claims its place in a changing world. Between audacity, fragility, tenderness, anger and enlightenment, ‘Nous, maintenant’ brings together works that affirm cinema as a space for expression, experimentation and emancipation.
