The film adaptation of Joann Sfar’s comic series of the same name narrates the story of Rabbi Sfar’s talking cat in a typically idiosyncratic visual style. The master and his friends experience some wonderful adventures in the company of probably the savviest velveteen-pawed cat in the whole of Algiers. This is an awesome adventure for viewers, too!

NYC, Central Park. Five youths are victims of a brutal mugging. But they are not like other teenagers. They are prodigies, boy geniuses with supremely high intelligence and superhuman willpower. Antoine Charreyron’s adaptation of “La Nuit des enfants rois” by Bernard Lenteric is a real action-thriller – spectacularly staged and mercilessly thrilling.

In their first joint feature film, Jean-Loup Felicioli and Alain Gagnol narrate the story of Dino, the handsome tomcat. He loves to spend the day with little Zoé, and when nights falls, he joins his pal Nico on raids across the rooftops of Paris. A fabulous detective story for adults and children!

Mister Christie, a seemingly honest husband, family man and dog owner, is implicated in a scandal when he is caught having sex with a French sailor. Phil Mulloy takes us into a bizarre world with his punchy, provocative and charismatic reduction of visual elements. He spins a crude melodrama that is captivating, funny and at the same time irritating.

This is a first: an animated feature film developed entirely from a computer game. “The Trashmaster” is the story of a New York dustman who not only clears the refuse, but also takes care of disposing of criminals. This action packed film noir is not just for gamers, and certainly not for anyone with nervous disposition.
