Daniel Ivernel, Françoise Lugagne, Georges Géret, Jeanne Moreau, Marc Eyraud, Michel PiccoliOriginally produced by Kino Lorber in 1964.Working as a chambermaid, Celestine observes the little failings of each member of the household: Mr. Monteil's craving for sex, Mrs. Monteil's embittered repression, father-in-law Mr. Rabour's refined fetishism… Their neighbor, the peppery captain Mauger, often has skirmishes with them. One day, two unexpected events disturb the quiet life of the neighborhood: Mr. Rabour dies suddenly and a little girl called Claire is raped, then murdered in the woods. Celestine suspects Joseph, the gardener she knows to have a violent and sadistic nature, but she fails to get him convicted.Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Feature films.; Foreign films.; Motion pictures.; Drama.; Motion Pictures.; Crime.; Motion pictures, French.;

Anouk Grinberg, Bastien Bouillon, Bouli Lanners, Mouna Soualem, Pauline SerieysOriginally produced by Film Movement in 2022.Every police precinct has a case that defies explanation and evades solution. Recently promoted Captain Yohan Vivès (Bastien Bouillon) faces such an elusive mystery when he investigates the gruesome murder of a young woman named Clara in the French town of Grenoble. It is clear that the attack was premeditated, and the violent nature of the crime suggests revenge. All the evidence points towards a scorned ex-lover, but which one? Vivés’ team methodically digs through the details of Clara’s life, uncovering her secrets while striving to weed out the killer. Winner of seven César Awards including Best Film and Best Director, THE NIGHT OF THE 12TH is a “deft and satisfying police procedural” that is based on “Pauline Guéna’s immersive account of a year spent with the Criminal Investigation Department of Versailles” (Screen Daily).Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Feature films.; Foreign films.; Motion pictures.; Drama.; Horror films.; Crime.; Detective and mystery films.; Thrillers (Motion pictures, television, etc.).;

- Manicouagan. by Beaudet, Nadine,film director.; Spira (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by Spira in 2025.A driven but intimate work, this film recounts the history of Manicouagan (North Shore, Quebec) a legendary territory shaped by the impact of an asteroid 215 million years ago. From the St. Lawrence River to north of the 51st parallel, the legendary Route 389 brings us to the heart of this meteor crater to meet some extraordinary individuals (astrophysicists, geologists, truck-stop manager, hikers). Digging deep into their memories, the Innu of Pessamit tell of the dispossession of their ancestral lands, which were flooded by the construction of the big hydro dams, leading to the disorientation of the young people from their community. After choosing to live in the boreal forest at the feet of the Uapishka Mountains, a guide and a hermit reveal their powerful connection with nature. In this non-linear narrative with many faces, the land speaks out and questions the traces we humans leave behind us.Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Documentary films.; Science.; Social sciences.; Agriculture.; History, Modern.; Human rights.; Americans.; Foreign study.; Documentary films.; Indigenous peoples.; Ethnicity.; Current affairs.; History.; Indians of North America.; Canada.; Earth sciences.;

- About Thirty. by Shanly, Martín,film director.; Dougall, Camila,actor.; Ezcurra, Julia,actor.; Shanly, Martín,actor.; Merlo, Pedro,actor.; Pragda (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Camila Dougall, Julia Ezcurra, Martín Shanly, Pedro MerloOriginally produced by Pragda in 2023.Buenos Aires in March 2020, just days before the outbreak of the pandemic. A wedding is being celebrated; a car overturns. The guests share joints, kisses, sex, and the memory of a loss. At the center of this comedy of errors is Arturo, who is every bit as drawn to misfortune as he is directionless – qualities he shares with the film's full cast of characters. His faux pas and blunders stand in inverse relation to the finesse with which the film elegantly glides back in time from the wedding day to the 2010s. As episodes from Arturo’s life come to the fore – a bus trip to Patagonia with his trans housemate, a painfully awkward dress rehearsal for a play – narrative time is compressed and extended again, while a voiceover provides a steady counterweight to the tumult. As the hit song "Azúcar amargo” (Bitter Sugar) comes on and the dance floor fills, the bittersweet nature of the film becomes apparent with the same clarity as the coughing that proceeds it.Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Feature films.; Foreign films.; Motion pictures.; Drama.; Comedy films.; Motion pictures--Latin America.; Motion pictures--Argentina.;

- Hema Hema: Sing Me a Song While I Wait. by Norbu, Khyentse,film director.; Lhamo, Sadon,actor.; Leung Chiu-wai, Tony,actor.; Dorji, Tshering,actor.; Zhou, Xun,actor.; Dekanalog (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Sadon Lhamo, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Tshering Dorji, Xun ZhouOriginally produced by Dekanalog in 2016.A man enters a clearing, dons a mask, plays a flute, and waits. He is soon joined by other masked people carrying machetes, spears, and bows. They take him to a place deep in the jungle where a ceremony is about to commence, and an elder explains the rules. The ritual takes place once every 12 years. It begins with the full moon, and no one may leave until the new moon rises. Identities beneath the masks must not be revealed. "You are here to prepare for the gap between death and birth," the elder explains. "You are here to find out who you really are."Self-discovery lies at the heart of this mesmerizing film from Khyentse Norbu (The Cup, Travellers and Magicians). The Bhutanese lama and filmmaker, recognized by Tibetan Buddhists as the third incarnation of the founder of Khyentse lineage, imbues his films with a rare spiritual wisdom — though not at the expense of the traditional movie-going pleasures of spectacle, character, and suspense. Inspired by the concept of the bardo, a state through which departed souls pass before entering their next incarnation, HEMA HEMA: SING ME A SONG WHILE I WAIT is a colorful plunge into a world where ancient rites can summon our noblest and our basest instincts. Anonymity is intoxicating, the elder warns the participants, and can provoke reckless action. Indeed, between dazzling displays of ritual dance we will witness thievery, violation, and even murder. Can there be such a thing as justice in this self-contained world beholden to the ceremonial rules? As it draws nearer to its climax, HEMA HEMA reveals insights into human nature and how it manifests, not just in the wild, but also in the modern world of endless distraction.Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Feature films.; Foreign films.; Motion pictures.; Drama.; Buddhism.; Detective and mystery films.; Motion pictures--Asia.;
