while the unicorn is watching me
Directed by Shanti Masud, 2014
SYNOPSIS
By a cold Sunday morning, a man wakes up under the mischievous watch of a unicorn straight out of one of his dreams. Worn with a morning sensuality, his fantasies gradually transform his lonely apartment into a garden of delights where this young faun can freely reap the fruits of his desires.

TRAILER
Since 2003, Shanti Masud has been directing films — both sad and joyful, in black and white and in color, on Super 8, Super 16, super digital, with super experimentation and super fiction:
Jeunesse (2016), Undead Woman, While the Unicorn Is Watching Me, Métamorphoses (2014), Pour la France (2013), Don't Touch Me Please (2010), But We Have the Music (2009), That's Where We Want to Go (2006), L'Appel (2004).
She also compulsively directs music videos (for musicians such as O, Aline, Orouni, Mina Tindle, Judah Warsky, Joakim, Mehdi Zannad, Néoboris).
Shanti has also worked as a charming script supervisor (for Nicolas Pariser, Philippe Fernandez, Arthur Harari, Ho Lam, Fabrice Destagnol), and then as a charming actress (for Arthur Harari, Virgil Vernier, Pascale Bodet, Nicolas Pariser, Lucie Borleteau, Srinath Christopher Samarasinghe, William Laboury, and herself).
