Opening Night Projections

CURATOR: Françoise Callier

The programme of this evening projection, presented by the organising committee member Françoise Callier, highlights a multimedia selection that mixes works from the new generation with more classic ones. This composition will take us from universe to universe, from story  to story, for an eclectic evening combining raw realities with more oneiric and experimental worlds. Although approaching different themes, unrelated at first sight, globality creates a common sense and draws a portrait of our contemporary societies questioning our relationship to each other and the intrinsic tensions of the challenges of living together.
