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.

Black Water follows Lokhi and her family as they flee a ravaged southern Bangladesh toward Dhaka. Framed with the pulsing rhythm of a thriller, the film moves from intimate domestic tension to the apocalyptic collapse of cities, observing exile, displacement and the human cost of climate change. Its cinematography favors textured close-ups and wide, drowning panoramas that trade familiarity for menace, creating a tense, elegiac atmosphere. The film’s strength lies in its restrained empathy and searing portrait of a world at the brink of submersion.

In Bengali orignal version with French subtitles.

Screening followed by a discussion with the protagonist and activist Shakila Islam.
