Tina: art, amour et révolution is a feature-length documentary blending animation and archival footage that traces the tumultuous life of the Italian photographer and revolutionary activist Tina Modotti.

From Italy to Mexico, via the United States, her path intersects with artists such as Frida Kahlo and Edward Weston. Between creation, love, and political commitment, the film portrays the extraordinary journey of a woman who never separated art from life. A sensitive portrait of an engaged figure, long silenced, questioning the power of the image in relation to history.

La Muse is an intercultural and intergenerational story exploring the unlikely relationship between Ting Ting Chen, a young Chinese contemporary art photographer, and her friend and muse, 74-year-old Robert Tilley. This short film celebrates art while questioning our biases about relationships between older men and younger women, the contributions of immigrants to culture, and the nature of memory.
