Life imitates art in uncanny ways when Gemma Bovery and her husband Charles move to a charming old farmhouse in the very same Norman village where Flaubert wrote Madame Bovary a century ago. Local baker and Flaubert expert Martin Joubert becomes entranced with Gemma, and it does not take long before he is drawing parallels between the literary and real life woman. Based on the popular graphic novel by Posy Simmonds. (French and English spoken)

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.
