For the Record 2026

For the record is a story about chosen family, queer solidarity, and radical empathy in a tiny Parisian studio.

Directed by Louanne Ngo

Evy, a Master’s student in communications in Paris, launches a series of livestreams for her dissertation on the impact of social media. Broke and isolated, she does her best to keep up appearances on camera. The unexpected arrival of Agathe, a foreign roommate with a murky past and administrative struggles, disrupts her daily life. Between secrets and tension, this new living situation forces Evy to choose: finish her dissertation… or help her new roommate.
