Special Screening: Femmes d’espoir

Independent Cinema

Cinélux

Nicolas Van Ingen’s Femmes d’espoir observes Senegalese women’s collective transformation with calm, intimate cinematography. The film traces Bintou, Mariama and Seynabou as they form an economic cooperation around mangrove and land resources, turning labour into dignified livelihoods. Through close, textured frames and a humane rhythm, Van Ingen highlights themes of autonomy, education, and social change—how income-generation reshapes family life, curbs early marriage and renews community bonds. The tone is hopeful, tactile and rooted in everyday resilience.

Followed by a discussion with Jean Goepp, agronomist and ecologist, co-founder and director of the Nébéday association, and Mariama Diallo, socio-anthropologist, PhD in social sciences, and project coordinator at the Nébéday association.

In French.

Lost in Narration

Independent Cinema

Les Cinémas du Grütli

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.

Anti-Nymphs | Four short films | Screening + conversation

Art & Exhibits Independent Cinema

Centre d'Art Contemporain

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.

Premiere/ Orwell: 2+2=5

Independent Cinema

Cinélux

Ambitious, dense and strikingly topical, Orwell: 2+2=5 revisits the final years of George Orwell through the lens of the 21st century. Raoul Peck delivers an urgent and uncompromising exploration of totalitarianism, disinformation and their enduring appeal.

The screening is followed by a discussion with Melik Özden, Director of the Europe–Third World Centre (CETIM), in collaboration with CETIM.

Pulp Fiction

Independent Cinema

Cinéma Nord-Sud

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.

Special Screening: Blade Runner

Independent Cinema

Les Cinémas du Grütli

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.
