Carla (French with Subtitles)

Winner of Best Screenplay at Moulins d'or Sannois 2022, Best Actor and Youth Prize at Rêves de Court Benet 2023, and Best International Short Film at the Ramdam Festival in Tournai, Belgium. Carla has tried to leave. But François, her violent boyfriend, catches up with her and forces her into a private car to take her back home. Jalil is their driver. He notices immediately that something is wrong — a tension in the car he cannot quite name. The authorities have already failed. As the minutes pass and the danger becomes unmistakable, Jalil must decide: stay silent, or act. Written and directed by Kamel Guemra, Carla is a tightly wound, claustrophobic French short film that unfolds almost entirely inside a moving vehicle — an intimate, urgent portrait of complicity, courage, and the moment an ordinary person chooses to intervene.
