Directed by Louis Bonard, Les Voüéces follows two reclusive women, Rodogonde and Frénéjus, who live atop a high tower. Louis Bonard and Michèle Gurtner wrote and perform a piece in an enchanted pseudo‑medieval tongue where voice, embroidery and play weave a poetic fable. The performance probes silence, the passage of time, guilt and the unsettling presence of other voices — ghostly, culpable or absurd — with a blend of darkness and dark humour.

Cristian Mungiu’s intimate drama follows the Gheorghiu family, a devout Romanian–Norwegian couple who settle by a remote Norwegian fjord. As friendships with neighbours blossom and the children grow inseparable, a discovery at school upends their way of life. Mungiu observes faith, parental authority and communal scrutiny with precise, austere cinematography, letting silences and landscape carry moral tension. Winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes 2026, the film unfolds as a measured study of belief, protection and isolation.
Première with director Cristian Mungiu. Original version with French subtitles.
Thirty days of walking across Scotland: two longtime friends trek six hundred kilometres through the Scottish Highlands to reconnect with each other, renew their bond with nature and recover parts of themselves they had lost. Shot in expansive, luminous landscapes and driven by subtle, naturalistic performances, the film offers a careful, contemplative portrait of time’s passage, friendship and the small, telling details of everyday life. A meditative road movie that privileges atmosphere, silence and quiet emotional shifts.

Minimal geometries and textured surfaces negotiate scale and monumentality, while layered materials and subtle color shifts invite reflection on construction, memory and cultural lineage. The works balance rigorous formalism with tactile evidence of process, proposing an austere yet intimate meditation on how built forms shape perception and collective narratives.

Photographer Florian Luthi’s Fantômes Météores is inspired by the 1954 wave of UFO sightings across France, especially along the Franco‑Swiss border. From one of these accounts he revisits childhood landscapes—mist‑shrouded forests, deserted villages and the Jura—and composes a photographic narrative where truth wavers and legends endure. The series uses long exposures, muted palettes and staged absence to probe memory, collective fear and the boundary between documentary and myth. A collaboration with Fondation Convergences.
