Accused #2: Walter Sisulu poster
NR

Without Walter Sisulu, there wouldn’t have been Nelson Mandela. Mandela, accused number one, read a speech during the trial justifying why the African National Congress had resorted to violence. Sisulu, accused number two, was the first of the group to be cross-examined. Transported back into a world of secret court sessions during the apartheid nightmare, the viewer will discover the testimony of an exceptional man who instigated one of the turning points of 20th century history.

Dessine-toi... poster
NR

The squeaking of a black felt pen echos to children around the world, who apply themselves to making their self-portraits. Like the method put into placae by Georges Clouzot in Le Mystère Picasso, in which the artist painted on a transparent "canvas", Gilles Porte films children who don't yet know how to read or write busy drawing on "the other side" of a glass pane. Bursts of creativity, thought, inspiration blackouts, tears and laughter: Dessine-toi allows us to share the grace of childhood.
