HEADER LEFT French Film Festival UK / Maya, Give Me A Title
Wednesday 4th November • 10.30am • 61 mins • U, recommended up to P7 • French with English subtitles • £5 per pupil, teachers free
Maya, Give Me A Title is a playful and inventive animated comedy that celebrates creativity, storytelling, and the special bond between parent and child. The stop-motion short stories are inspired by ideas from the filmmaker’s daughter, Maya, while they are living in different countries. To stay connected, Maya sends her father titles, which he transforms into colourful miniature adventures using paper, scissors, and tape. The result is a charming and deeply personal film that invites audiences of all ages into a world where imagination knows no bounds.

In this documentary set in the heart of Paris, a prestigious high school takes an audacious bet: integrate students from working-class districts and make them break the circle of school failure through dance and hip hop.
Everyone brings their own story and through dance, learns to translate their experiences into physical energy. The intimately immersive camera interweaves explosive movement with moments of reflection. There are injuries and disappointments, but also hopes, dreams, and inner transformations.
