In France, two adaptations of novels attempted to personify horror: “Notre-Dame du Nil” by Scholastique Mukasonga, adapted by Franco-Afghan director Atiq Rahimi in 2019 and “Petit Pays” by Gaël Faye adapted for the screen by the Frenchman Éric Barbier the same year.

Rwandan filmmakers have also appropriated their story through fiction, notably with "Neptune Frost" co-directed by Rwandan actress and director Anisia Uzeyman and the American Saul Williams or even "Imbabazi le Pardon" by Rwandan Joël Karekezi which received in 2019 the Yennenga Stallion at Fespaco (Pan-African Cinema and Television Festival of Ouagadougou) for his feature film "The Mercy of the Jungle" which takes place four years after the Tutsi genocide.
Also on the program:
The releases of the week include "Black Flies" by Frenchman Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire with Sean Penn and Tye Sheridan which plunge us into the hell of New York's emergency paramedics.
And finally, “Godzilla x Kong: The New Kingdom”, directed by Adam Wingard. The fifth part of this explosive franchise intends to tell us the origin of the two titans.
