Indes Galantes

Philippe Béziat’s documentary follows the creation of a new production of Jean‑Philippe Rameau’s opéra‑ballet, revealing rehearsals, encounters and the artists’ work. Blending baroque music with urban culture, the film brings together Cappella Mediterranea, conductor Leonardo García‑Alarcón, director Clément Cogitore and choreographer Bintou Dembélé with krump, breakdance, popping and voguing dancers. Observational and intimate, it examines intercultural encounter, the collective energy on stage and the social resonances of an inclusive artistic project. (2020, France; César nominee; festival selections.)

Ciel Sourdeau’s eight-minute, seventeen-second video unfolds as a subversive tutorial: part gore, part experimental film, it repurposes pedagogical forms into an improvised, transgressive bricolage. Mixed by Adrien Kessler, the piece layers tactile sound and rough-edged visuals to probe bodies, identity and the limits of instruction. Its stripped, confrontational aesthetic alternates shock and dark humour, inviting a re-examination of learning rituals and the politics of representation through intimate, unsettling imagery.

Opening: 3 September, 18:00

Sergei Parajanov’s seminal avant-garde film reimagines the biopic of Armenian poet Sayat‑Nova as a sequence of poetic tableaux. Prioritizing image, symbol and ritual over conventional narrative, the film stages a meditative exploration of art, spirituality and cultural memory. Lush compositions, theatrical performances and rhythmic montage create a sensorial, dreamlike experience that foregrounds heritage and identity. The Color of Pomegranates remains a visually radical testament to cinematic poetry and the transformative power of metaphor.

In Armenian with French subtitles.
