The event
Foi.S et Religion.S
How do faith and belief shape our lives? From Brazil’s Sertão to a Swiss village, from Candomblé to Judaism, five films explore different ways of believing and searching for meaning. Through traditions, rituals, love and mourning, religion emerges as intimate, collective and deeply connected to our identities.
The films
Blind date à la Juive
Anaëlle Morf
Unlucky in love, Marie-Lou decides to reconnect with religion by marrying a practicing Jew. To marry, she must undergo the chidduch test, an ordeal that will determine the success or failure of her life.

When Everything is Born
Pâmela Peregrino
A story about Òsùn, the Orisha of fresh waters and goddess of fertility in Candomblé.
Cendres de Volcan
Maria Nicollier
In the Swiss village of Valangin, a wealthy Moroccan man wants to build a mausoleum in memory of his wife. Hassan’s extravagant project clashes with his sister-in-law’s Protestant austerity. Beneath its comedic tone, the film traces a path toward shared mourning.
