Yann Gonzalez is undoubtedly one of this year's prominent figures. The French filmmaker not only crafted our trailer but also serves as a member of our esteemed jury and is among the MQ artists-in-residence. Today, we're finally celebrating him in style with the portrait Dreams, Desires, And Divine Monsters. In By The Kiss, a woman experiences a series of fleeting encounters with strangers, each kiss marking a crescendo of passion, yet also escalating desperation. Desire morphs into obsession, ecstasy descends into devastation. Land Of My Dreams follows Bianca's journey as she reunites with her long-lost mother and finds herself performing in her mother's strip shows. In Les Îles, all characters, be they human or monster, are united by their shared hunger for excitement and love. And as we delve deeper into the festival's subject with Hideous, the journey becomes more musical and bloody, yet remains infused with longing and obscurity.
