Featuring multiple screening rooms, the cinema caters to cinephiles with a diverse daily selection of cinematic expressions, incorporating retrospectives, thematic cycles, and a thoughtful program tailored for a young audience.

A spring cycle from the Geneva University Film Club marks the 150th anniversary of UNIGE’s Faculty of Medicine, gathering ten films that probe medicine’s moral and emotional terrain. From Alfred Hitchcock’s psychoanalytic intrigue to Ingmar Bergman’s introspective intensity and David Cronenberg’s clinical horror, the program sketches portraits of doctors, caregivers and patients: dream-work, ethical dilemmas, bodily fragility and devoted care. Shot in textures from dreamlike chiaroscuro to clinical close-ups, the films balance unease and tenderness with exacting cinematic rhythms.
