And they will both be projected on Sunday 28th of november.

My reviews from the festival at Unspoken Cinema :

Corrections : I revisited Whisky, and it's too speechy, however laconical, to be contemplative. And I discovered an additional contemplative film : Pedro.

I'm back from Nantes, after 6 days and 19 screenings. What a blast! Great curation, great films, great cinémas, great management, great city... My only regret is not being able to see more films, especially Moving On and Professor Yamamoto.
