International Premiere
『BEE and the Spectrum of Misunderstanding』
Director: Fabien Laubry
2022／73 minutes／New Caledonia／Franch／FHD
Eléa has been lending her soft and fragile voice to Hugo's electronic music for the past few months, whom she met during a workshop at the ISA (Specialized Autism Institute of New Caledonia). Her lyrics, with vibrant and emotional poetry, unveil the tumultuous aspects of her life as an Asperger's autistic individual. Step by step, in the opaque world of neurotypicals, Eléa is following the sometimes challenging path towards greater autonomy. Note by note, she nurtures her first musical flights, refines her lyrics, and is already thinking about her debut album... Eléa has already chosen her stage name: BEE
