Marie Losier is showcasing two unique films, “Felix in Wonderland” and “Barking in the Dark,” at the Cinémas du Grütli. These works blend portrait, experimental music, and visual poetry. As a filmmaker and visual artist, Losier captures these pieces on 16 mm film and crafts her own soundtracks, bringing the enchantment of music to the big screen. The screening will be followed by a discussion with the filmmaker and her producer, Mathilde Delaunay.
