and we meet the world's top female freestyle footballer melody don't shave from paris. we begin in the beautiful town of going to see 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 imagine 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 so 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 hand yeah the 1st one is i lost my body it's terrific that 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 hand a dismembered hand who escapes from a does section live and jumps and rolls and crawls 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 big church. it's a very very convincing film it also has a nice mix of 2 and 3 d. animation. sounds very touching but now i believe you've got a darker scene from the movie whether it's a problem. spooky

or go to the. let's lighten it up a bit there's a tribute at the festival to japanese animation which has a long history of course and a new japanese film is called your art yet it's called ride your wave it's by message aki you are he's an undersea prize winner and it's also in the feature film competition raj away it is an elemental love story that follows him a coat she loves surfing in the water and total a ship 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 to the minute as death in a coat hangs on to her friend spirit who reappears again and again in the form of

water but sometimes not it's not and 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 brit 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 if 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 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 of 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. in injury put paid to our ambitions as a player wouldn't stop her fascination with the beautiful. coordination both controlled and balance it seems middleby don't she from paris as you know she's one of the world's best football freestylers generals because i like freestyle because it's a very free sport without rules above all it's a not

a mix of football basketball and downs. a knee injury put an end to have 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 miles even complex tricks thanks to my favorite tricks called use of the stall. it goes like this you balance the pull on a sole of one foot with the other foot to one side. mirror the joint the street style society s 3 in 2010 x. it's only female member but she's more than a match for her teammates for years she trained 4 to 5 hours a day that she threw into question it fascinated me right from the start when i was one or 2 years old my mother gave me some dulls and i treat them in the trash but when she gave me a bowl i was really happening. football's always been a part of my life. below the book for events the world over she takes part

regularly in international tournaments she's won the freestyle world championship title 4 times like here in 2016 in london. not been free styling for 10 years now i've been to around 50 countries and met lots of well known football is there to see recently i got to know naima and i met christiane and rinaldo in japan through. the middle he has also become a social media success with her tricks with the bold videos like this one a handstand had been seen around the world so that by if you see it wasn't that hard for me to establish myself in the sport since i've been playing for my early years. and right from the start i played with boys. the moment she stopped him with a ball she's the center of attention as

a woman who's mastered the ball she raises eyebrows. to this is i think it's great that women can play at this level and deliver a performance like that i see the skill with the ball as a not log for the long ball when it's unusual for a woman to handle the ball into freestyle say well normally you only see boys doing that. these days the women's football is getting more and more attention. to. how much to serve your claim i 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 she knew so fast you don't shay's determined to show that she's just as good as the guys. while german writer esther kinski started out as a translator of poetry novels. before she took the plunge as a writer after living in london for some years she moved to the bombed out region
