Co-authors Frédéric Wilner and Moataz Madi helm a probing documentary that follows the University of Geneva’s archaeological mission at Saqqâra. Their camera traces the unearthing of a tomb attributed to the vizier Ouni, raising questions about its ownership and purpose. The film blends measured investigative pacing with textured imagery of dust, stone and inscription, exploring themes of memory, legacy and the politics of archaeological narrative. Intimate interviews and revelatory finds create a contemplative, suspenseful atmosphere that foregrounds the human stories behind ancient monuments.

Curated as a cycle of five short works by Pauline Curnier Jardin, Maria Klonaris and Katherina Thomadaki, Laure Prouvost, Mathilde Rosier and Josèfa Ntjam, Anti-Nymphs stages feminist rereadings of Greco‑Roman myths. These video essays and experimental shorts foreground body metamorphosis—gender, age and vegetal transformations—centering non‑conforming female bodies that unsettle dominant imaginaries. Textural imagery, fragmentary rhythms and tactile close-ups create a liminal, often uncanny atmosphere. The program proposes a subversive mythography that remaps ancient figures through contemporary, bodily poetics.

A screening of the documentary Facing War, offering rare access to the inner workings of NATO as the war in Ukraine reshapes the global balance, followed by a timely debate asking: Is Europe at war? Amid Russia’s hybrid warfare, Europe’s massive rearmament and the growing fragility of Western alliances, diplomats, journalists and experts question the coherence and credibility of Europe’s political and military responses to an increasingly unstable geopolitical order.
Discussions are interpreted in French and English; the film is in English and Norwegian, with French and English subtitles.
