Give as a gift
A lifetime of performance, an adrenaline-fueled hobby, trying to impress on a first date, and finding connection in an unlikely place. This collection of films looks at the adversity faced in making the decision to be yourself.
Oes o berfformio, hobi llawn adrenalin, ceisio creu argraff ar ddêt cyntaf, a dod o hyd i gysylltiad mewn lle annhebygol. Mae'r casgliad hwn o ffilmiau yn edrych ar yr anhawster a wynebir wrth wneud y penderfyniad i fod yn chi'ch hun.
Lisa matched with Xuân through a dating app, and she is to meet her for the first time. But there is a problem: to appeal to Xuân, Lisa lied and told her that she is fluent in Vietnamese, her native language, despite not understanding a single word. Getting deeper into her own lies, there is only one week left before the date for Lisa to learn vietnamese. Otherwise, Xuân will find out she’s a fraud…

Born in 2001, Alice Gervat (she/her/hers) is a French artist, animator and illustrator.

With her graduation short film Someone Special (một người đặc biệt), she offers a sincere and refreshing take on her Vietnamese heritage and personal identity with a lot of humour. Alice enjoys creating expressive and sensitive female characters in her work, placing them at the centre of her vibrant stories that blend slice-of-life moments with touches of romantic comedy.
Mae Lisa wedi paru â Xuân trwy ap dêtio, ac mae hi i gwrdd â hi am y tro cyntaf. Ond mae problem: i apelio at Xuân, dywedodd Lisa gelwydd a dweud wrthi ei bod hi'n rhugl yn Fietnameg, ei hiaith frodorol, er nad oedd hi'n deall un gair. Gan fynd yn ddyfnach i'w chelwyddau ei hun, dim ond wythnos sydd ar ôl cyn y dêt i Lisa ddysgu Fietnameg. Fel arall, bydd Xuân yn darganfod ei bod hi'n dwyllwr…
Bywgraffiad y cyfarwyddwr
Ganwyd Alice Gervat (Hi/Hi/Ei) yn 2001, ac mae hi'n artist, animeiddiwr a darlunydd Ffrengig. Yn 2024, graddiodd o radd meistr mewn animeiddio yn Paris Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs. Gyda'i ffilm fer graddio someone special (một người đặc biệt), mae hi'n cynnig golwg ddiffuant ac adfywiol ar ei threftadaeth Fietnameg a'i hunaniaeth bersonol gyda llawer o hiwmor. Mae Alice yn mwynhau creu cymeriadau benywaidd mynegiannol a sensitif yn ei gwaith, gan eu gosod yng nghanol ei straeon bywiog sy'n cyfuno eiliadau tipyn o fywyd â chyffyrddiadau o gomedi ramantus.
