Hors Pistes promotes new creative talent!

"Company of Mushrooms"
Company of Mushrooms portrays a dinner between men on a hot and humid summer's evening with a naturalistic rigour that further exacerbates the solitude of certain, seemingly anodyne, moments in life. Let loose before the camera, the actors seem to allow themselves to veer into improvisation, resulting in cinema that is as heart-warming as it is stark.

"Forst"
This documentary imagines a dense forest situated in the middle of Europe - far from urbanity and civilisation - that harbours a community of exiles. Based on our intimate fears and allowing our perceptions to flow freely, the troubling Forst retraces the story of the emancipation of this world of outcasts.

"Surplace"
Filmed amidst the crowd and from the high vantage point of a neighbouring window, Surplace captures the corporeal ballet of a crowd scene in which violence breaks out. Through an accumulation of points of view focusing varously on the individual, the group and the mass, the film aims to draw out a more nuanced and troubling portrayal of the televisual event.
