we began in the beautiful town of annecy and eastern france home to the most important festival for animated films in the world this year over 3000 films were submitted to the festival only 200 are accepted and these contests the various categories of awards from short films to major features now and a mission is all about peaches so let's have a taste of the incredible diversity of artistic styles on offer this year.

my colleague melissa holroyd is with me now the seams are something for every taste of the festival melissa it is something for everyone it is a huge festival and increasingly in recent years hollywood has been paying a lot of hollywood has been paying

a lot of attention to it one good thing i think about the festival is that there are a lot of young people there i think one in every 4 visit is a students of animation now you've chosen a couple of movies that caught your eye and the 1st war is about whose hand that's right yeah the 1st one is i lost my body it's director jeremy clap on it's his debut film it was added late to the festival program it's one that recently the prestigious in the spreads so award at cannes it's about a half and a dismembered hand who escapes from a does section live and jumps and rolls and rolls and says discovery is its way across the city with one crucial goal to return to its body the film also jumps back and forth in time so we also get to see life before the accident the hand belonged to a once happy boy and his past is explored through a type of sense memory so the scenes from today are juxtaposed with these scenes

from the past where the hand is experiencing different things like picking up grains of sand on a baby church. it's a very very convincing film it also has a nice mix of 2 and 3 d. animation. and sounds very touching but now i believe you've got a darker scene from the movie whether it's a problem. we

all go to the. let's lighten it up a bit there's a tribute at the festival to japanese and animation which has a long history of course and a new japanese film is called your art yeah it's called ride your wave it's by message aki you are side he's an on the sea prize winner and it's also in the feature film competition graduate is an elemental love story that follows him a coat she loves surfing in the water and toe relationship with mina time he's a firefighter he's good on land but he's not so good in the water things are going well until mina toat loses his life in an accident at sea when everyone else is trying to get over a minute in a coyote hangs on to her friend's spirit who reappears again and again in the form of water but sam's no it's not i'm finally though a french film but in afghanistan you have the swallows of kabul it's code directed

by a very popular french actress by the name of brecht man it's based on the bestselling novel of the same name the story is set in kabul in 1998 and shortly after the fundamentalist taliban came into power to follows the lives of 2 couples that are linked it's about oppression and resistance but it's also about love and to suit of truth in an atmosphere of lies there are plenty of heavy scenes in this in this film it's from the daily humiliations to the public executions and some people could say that that that might be too much for audiences in the terms of live storytelling but critics and critics also say that the soft watercolors can also distract from the tyranny of the taliban ok melissa holroyd thank you very much.

also in france the women's football world cup is well underway we met up with melo did all shave from paris who could control a football like no other and yet she's not playing in the tournament because she's a freestyle and is the only female to have won all 3 major titles in the freestyle football world of ocean in injury put paid to our ambitions as a player but it didn't stop her fascination with the beautiful game. coordination both control and balance it seems middleby don't shave from paris has it all she's one of the world's best football freestylers genesis i like freestyle because it's a very free sport without rules above all it's a not a mix of football basketball and done. a knee injury put an end to her professional soccer career over 10 years ago middleby stayed on the ball transitioning smoothly

to free style along with speed and energy technique is paramount and she quickly masters the even complex tricks thanks to my favorite tricks called use of the stall. it goes like this you balance the ball on the sole of one foot with the other foot to one side with the. middle of the join the streets down society s 3 in 2010 as it's only female member but she's more than a match for the team mates for years she trained 4 to 5 hours a day that she threw at the question about native me right from the start when i was one or 2 years old my mother gave me some dulls and i threw them in the trash but when she gave me a bowl i was really happy. football's always been a part of my life. the lady is booked for events the world over she takes part regularly in international tournaments she's won the freestyle world championship

a performance like that i see this skill with the ball as a not. good thing it's not unusual for a woman to handle the ball and to freestyle say well normally you when you see boys doing that. these days with women's football is getting more and more attention. to. how much to serve their clear think it's good that women's football keeps on developing and of course i'll be watching the women's world championships this time they're being held in france. determined to show that she's just as good as the guys. while german writer started as a translator of novels before she took the plunge as a writer after living in london for some years she moves the region in eastern europe which straddles serbia rumania and hungry this is where 1st novel summer resort is set that's the book we have for you this week in the 100 must reads. this
