Gabber Lover is a 2015 French short film directed by Anna Cazenave Cambet.
It was selected as a student film at the Cinéfondation at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival where she won the Queer Palm for best short film.
In the 2000s, two 13-year-old girls, Mila and Laurie, participate in a gabber festival by a lake in Nérac. Mila is in love with Laurie and wants to tell her.
Gabber Lover is a film school project, shot in November 2015 near Nérac, in Lot-et-Garonne. Its director, Anna Cazenave-Cambet, learned via a phone call that the short film has been selected for the Cinéfondation at the Cannes Film Festival.
The film came from the director's desire, while a third-year student in the directing program at La Fémis, to capture landscapes from her childhood—-the forest, the silence—-a natural silence juxtaposed with the film's soundtrack of gabber music representing teenage violence. It is not based on a true story or something the director witnessed, but rather an interpretation of what a teenage love story can be, with all its violence and "chaos".
A "coming out" film, it was screened by Cinéfondation in the Buñuel Room on May 18, 2016.
