Gli appunti di Anna Azzori

Constanze Ruhm’s essay film Gli appunti di Anna Azzori unfolds as a layered, investigative meditation on a life captured on film. Working from the earlier Anna by Alberto Grifi and Massimo Sarchielli (Berlinale Forum 1975), Ruhm assembles clusters of archival material and reflection to trace Anna Azzori’s precarious existence without resolving it. The film probes the place of women, memory and representation, deconstructing patriarchal narratives through a fragmentary, tactile cinematic language that is intimate, questioning and quietly insistent.

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.

Être avec les Abeilles is a hopeful and thought-provoking documentary by Perrine Bertrand and Yan Grill that invites viewers to see the world through the eyes of bees. Combining stunning visuals with an urgent environmental message, the film encourages reflection on our relationship with nature and the importance of working with, rather than against, the living world. The screening will be followed by a discussion with local beekeepers and conservationists.

Gathering short works by Le Nemesiache, Raffaela Naldi Rossano, Jumana Emil Abboud and Katia Kameli, the Anti-Nymphs programme stages feminist rereadings of Greco‑Roman myths across the Mediterranean. The films foreground the aquatic—shorelines, currents and submerged histories—using textured, topographical explorations and lyrical montage to update mythological figures with political resonance. Sparse narration, tactile frames and layered soundscapes trace alternative geographies and collective memory, inviting a contemplative encounter with nature, gendered myth and the sea’s shifting allegories.

Blade Runner (Director’s Cut) by Ridley Scott (1992, 1h56), organised by the Société de Lecture, in the presence of Professor Alexandre Pouget.

Ridley Scott’s Director’s Cut of Blade Runner is a hallucinatory neo-noir that probes memory, identity, and what it means to be human. Set in a rain-soaked, neon-lit future, the film combines moody, atmospheric cinematography with philosophical questions about creation and empathy. Harrison Ford’s brooding performance and Vangelis’s iconic score create a haunting, elegiac tone that underscores themes of mortality, longing, and the blurred boundary between man and machine.

In original English version with French subtitles.

Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction reconfigures crime cinema with a playful, violent mosaic of interwoven stories. Winner of the Palme d’Or, the film unfolds through sharp, rhythmic dialogue, jolting ellipses and richly textured tableaux that follow small-time criminals and lost souls in Los Angeles. Its episodic structure and pop-culture riffing probe fate, moral ambiguity and the performative nature of identity. Shot with kinetic framing and vivid, often darkly comic visuals, the film’s tonal shifts make ordinary moments feel uncanny and electric.

In Original English version with French subtitles.
