Lost in Narration

Curated by the Geneva University Film Club, Lost in Narration gathers films by directors such as Federico Fellini, Alain Resnais and David Lynch to explore non-linear, disorienting storytelling. The series maps fragmented narratives and dreamlike logic, offering snapshots of memory, identity and cinematic form. Expect varied visual textures—from luminous retro frames to saturated nocturnes—and an emotional pulse that moves between unease and melancholic wonder. It highlights how narrative instability opens new dramaturgies and sensory possibilities in cinema.
