Don’t just like it, live it!
Geneva-based artist Nicolas Noverraz presents the initial outcomes of an artistic investigation into memory, wartime violence and the transmission of familial trauma. The works—printed in typographic workshops and then screen-printed—combine printed multiples with archival fragments, photographs, letters and personal narratives.
Through layered images and text, the project traces how a tragic event from the Second World War reverberates across generations, questioning how trauma is recorded, inherited and reimagined.
Opening: 1 October, 17:00 at écomusée API
Exhibit: 2 – 4 October at Imprimerie des Arts
Tony Gatlif’s Gadjo Dilo follows Stéphane, who travels to Romania searching for a singer named Nora Luca after his father’s death. Immersed in a Romani village, he befriends Isodore, discovers a new family and love, and learns a culture through music and ritual. Shot with raw lyricism and vibrant rhythms, the film blends authenticity and poetic mise en scène. Awarded at Locarno and honoured with a César for its music, it is a moving ode to belonging and human connection.
Countries: Romania, France; with French subtitles.
Genth’orgue 3 presents a varied festival exploring the organ in all its guises. Programs range from organ paired with Ondes Martenot (with Vincent Thévenaz and Jacques Tchamkerten), to a cine-concert accompaniment for Buster Keaton curated by Nathalie Effenberger, a recital titled “La scène aux femmes!” (Elisabeth Hubmann), and the theatrical spectacle‑concert “Le banquet des rois” for medieval ensemble, organ, choir and narrators. The emphasis is on timbral contrasts and ritual drama.
Step into Arco’s glowing world, a vivid animated adventure blending science fiction and nature. Follow brave characters through strange machines, sweeping skies, and rustling forests as they explore what we’ll leave to the future. Bright colours, pulsing sounds, and gentle motion invite viewers to imagine and ask questions. After the screening, enjoy a warm snack and chat about the film’s ideas with family and friends.
In French. Kids ages 8 and up.
Festival des 5 Continents presents a curated panorama of world cinema: competitive and out-of-competition films, special screenings and a section for emerging voices. The programme highlights auteur cinema, daring narratives and diverse perspectives, favouring bold visual styles and intimate storytelling. Through screenings, talks and encounters, the festival offers a space to discover new talents and reassess cinematic traditions, celebrating cross-cultural dialogues and the emotional power of film.
Created and performed by Anne-Sophie Turion, Grandeur Nature is an audio-guided promenade that lets listeners slip into the intimate lives of strangers. Wearing headphones, the audience follows a voice-over that transforms ordinary streets, parking lots and public gardens into a theatrical, subtly augmented reality. Real residents become the protagonists of a narrative woven from their own stories, producing a delicate, poetic exploration of the everyday and the hidden resonances of urban life.

This lecture explores the fascinating world of dinosaurs and shows how paleontology allows us to travel back to the history of life and our planet. It examines the end-Cretaceous extinction that removed species like T. rex and Triceratops, reviewing competing hypotheses—meteorite impact, volcanic activity—and the ongoing scientific debate. The presentation investigates how fossils provide a unique connection to Earth’s past and reveals what paleontological evidence teaches us about mass extinctions and planetary change.
