Kinship
Synopsis:
Freely inspired by Racine's Phaedra, Kinship tells the story that is passionate develops between a woman of influence, editor (Isabelle Adjani), and a young reporter (Niels Schneider) working under him and obsesses increasingly. Combining inexorably intimate life and the professional sphere, these two people are caught in the meshes of a complex relationship, delectable and destructive, under the watchful eyes and sometimes invasive of a third character (Vittoria Scognamiglio), best friend of the first and possessive mother of the second. Triangular story made of passion and transgression, the plot of Kinship is bound and loosed, over twenty-two scenes as funny qu'emouvantes.

Luminescence Dating
Synopsis:
This is a thriller about a lost statue, a lost son, an ancient mystery and a love affair between two desperately mismatched people . . .Angela Hart has spent the better part of her career searching for a voluptuous naked Aphrodite sculpted by Praxitiles in the fourth century BC and lost to history. Her colleague and friend Victor Reid, a gay black anthropologist specializing in Queer theory, steals a broken glazed arm from an excavation led by her professional nemesis, British archaeologist Nigel Edwards, and Angela begins to study it. As the ancient clay arm yields its secrets, these three highly competitive, emotionally charged academics begin to unravel the mystery of the missing statue, unleashing a whole set of desires that are orchestrated and stimulated by the Goddess of Love herself, an aging and world-weary Aphrodite disguised as the museum's cleaning lady. Ultimately the statue is never found, but the heat generated by the search yields its own delicious rewards
