Mark Osborne’s animated adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s tale follows a little girl living in a world governed by success, who meets an old aviator and through his story rediscovers imagination. Mixing digital animation and stop‑motion techniques, the film offers a layered visual poetry that preserves the book’s themes—childhood, curiosity and the need to see beyond appearances—while questioning the place of wonder in a rational, achievement‑driven society. Intimate and visually inventive, it speaks to both children and adults.

In English with French subtitles. Part of the Cinémas du Grütli’s screenings for young audiences, in collaboration with Terre des Hommes.

Perfect Days is Wim Wenders’ contemplative portrait of a man whose quiet rituals reveal the poetry of ordinary life. Through spare, attentive mise-en-scène, the film follows Hirayama as small gestures, music and chance encounters gradually open a larger emotional landscape. Wenders composes a film about attention, human connection and a gentle form of resistance to the accelerating modern world, privileging silence, detail and the slow accumulation of meaning.

Celine Song’s debut is a delicate film about love, fate and the roads not taken. Set between South Korea and the United States, it examines identity, migration and personal memory through intimate storytelling and subtle visual detail. Nora and Hae Sung, childhood friends separated when their families emigrate from Korea, meet again years later on different paths. Their encounter quietly interrogates choices, the persistence of memory and the possibilities left behind.

Jean‑Luc Godard’s final short film assembles images, texts and sonic fragments into a terse, reflective meditation on cinema, memory and creation. Through montage and free association, Godard revisits the formal strategies that have shaped his work, confronting words and images to probe how pictures evoke recollection. Concise and elliptical, the film functions as an artistic testament: a poetic exploration of film as a space for thought, association and the fragile persistence of memory.

Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans traces the coming-of-age of Sammy Fabelman, a young boy obsessed with images, and the emergence of his cinematic vocation in postwar America. Deeply autobiographical, the film combines intimate family drama, observational detail and a reverent love of mise-en-scène to examine memory, creativity and the emotions that shape an artist. Anchored by performances from Michelle Williams, Gabriel LaBelle and Paul Dano, it evokes the wonder and moral complexity of making films.

Cyril Schäublin’s Désordres is a singular historical drama set in the Swiss Jura of the 1870s. Through the eyes of a young Russian worker who discovers the watchmaking world and encounters anarchist militants around Saint-Imier, the film renders social history through gestures, work rhythms and intimate exchanges. Schäublin’s precise, distanced mise en scène examines labour organization, emergent political ideas and the tension between industrial time, production and the pursuit of emancipation.

In French. Screening preceded by Nice Time: Piccadilly Circus (1957, 18′)
