Alain Guiraudie
In attendance
In partnership with the Théâtre Le Quai CDN, which is presenting Et j'en suis là de mes rêveries by Maurin Ollès, based on Rabalaïre
Alain Guiraudie is an atypical and invaluable filmmaker with a long career behind him. His films are rooted in realism, a lure that is conducive to fantastic escapism. His imagination focuses on the question of desire as the driving force behind his characters’ actions.

Federico Fellini
Screening of restored prints, in the presence of Jean Gili et Gian Luca Farinelli
100 years after the birth of Federico Fellini, a look back at eight films from the Italian maestro, each one of which, in their own way, reflects the evolution of an oeuvre with narratives that are as decadent as they are joyous and whose trajectory gradually moves away from neorealism towards the acceptance of the dream and the imaginary as tangible components of our reality. |

Neighbours
Neighbours are formidable catalysts for fiction, bringing with them their share of contradictory feelings: desire, empathy, mistrust... A retrospective of twenty films from around the world, each one questioning our relationship with the Other.

Animation and Ecology
In partnership with NEF Animation
The issue of the environment has always been very present in animated films. For creators, animation is a way of recreating life and asking questions, each in their own way, about the relationship between man and nature. A retrospective featuring three programmes of short films, five feature-length films and a masterclass by Xavier Kawa-Topor.
