Ma Terre d’Accueil

Ma Terre d’Accueil is a video-dance exploring the immigration journey of a woman from South America. Carrying a bag full of stories and memories, she enters a new country, facing the challenges and transformations that await her. The video follows her journey from her native warmth to the extreme cold of a new land, illustrating how she must tame not only a new climate, but also a new language, a new culture, and even winter darkness. Through this artistic work, the viewer is invited to share the profound experience of immigration, to feel the emotions, challenges and joys of this process, and to discover how the beauty and strength of the Earth can become a source of inspiration and moral support for those who undertake this journey. Ma Terre d’Accueil captures the essence that lives on in this woman beyond physical and cultural change, illustrating the resilience and transformation that accompany the act of entering a new place.

Kaléidoscope lyrique

In 2023, the famous painter Jean-Paul Riopelle would have celebrated his 100th birthday. Lyrical Kaleidoscope is executed in the manner of Riopelle, settling down in front of a blank canvas with the dizziness of not being able to see the final result before it reveals itself, obeying only to the calls of vital impetus and intuition. While Riopelle sculpted paint, the film presents frescoes made from inks, chemicals and natural products applied to 16 and 35 mm film, with the underlying desire to transform experimental and abstract material into a narrative poem paying tribute to the oeuvre of the master. Best Experimental Abstraction – Experimental Brazil – 2023 This film includes experimental stroboscopic sequences that may not be suitable for some people. Presented as part of the Soirée estrienne. See the activity for details and to purchase tickets.

See the activity for details and to purchase tickets.

La garde blanche

Five years after Dark Suns, Julien Elie is back with a rigorous piece of research – an outstanding cinematographic work. This time, he sheds light on the regime of terror and violence generated by transnational mining companies, in collaboration with the Mexican government and organised crime, enabling them to land-grab territories to exploit their resources. With great respect and attention to detail, La garde blanche exposes the courage and dignity of the resistance against this new manifestation of destructive and murderous colonialism filled with rampant impunity.
