Letters from Wolf Street

Independent Cinema

Les Cinémas du Grütli

Arjun Talwar turns his camera toward Wilcza Street in Warsaw, filming neighbours and the textures of everyday life to probe his sense of belonging. Working with a quietly observant, intimate cinema, he assembles encounters and portraits that complicate simple narratives about contemporary Poland. The film unfolds as a patient, tactile study of otherness, community and political atmosphere—close-ups of faces and streetscapes that reveal nuance beneath stereotypes. Sparse, compassionate and perceptive, it listens to ordinary lives to rethink what home can mean.

Cine-Club Science-Fiction #4 : Primer by Shane Carruth

Independent Cinema

Cinélux

Shane Carruth’s Primer, debuting with the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance 2004, is a tightly constructed, low‑budget sci‑fi puzzle. Formerly an engineer, Carruth applies clinical rigor to a story about four suburban inventors; when Aaron and Abe discover that their mass‑reducing device can send them into the near past, timelines and trust fracture. The film’s austere textures, precise rhythms and intellectual tension create a disorienting, cerebral atmosphere where small technical details carry heavy moral and emotional weight.

In collaboration with l’Association des Amis de la Maison d’Ailleurs.

In original English version, with French subtitles.
