Each last weekend of the month from October to March, LUMA Arles organizes a series of screenings followed by discussions at the Parc des Ateliers.
These films will explore the relationships between humans and non-humans, interspecies relations, mythologies, and the natural world. Focusing on a different theme each month, these sessions are part of a proposal that also includes exchanges with speakers, researchers, filmmakers, and the audience, on how these films contribute to changing our perceptions.
November's theme: Desert
Friday, November 24 at 7:00 p.m.
Theeb by Naji Abu Nowar
Jordan, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, United Kingdom | 2014 | 1h40
Original version: Arabic / Subtitles: French
In the Ottoman province of Hijaz during World War I, a young Bedouin boy experiences a greatly hastened coming-of-age as he embarks on a perilous desert journey to guide a British officer to his secret destination.
Last-minute tickets: on site before each screening, subject to availability.
Saturday, November 25 at 5:00 p.m.
Fragments from heaven of Adnane Baraka
France, Morocco | 2022 | 1h24
Original version: Arabic and French / Subtitles: French
Looking for stones in the vastness of the Moroccan desert may seem absurd. Unless they're sky stones, with the power to transform the lives of those who find them. Mohamed – the nomad – and Abderrahmane – the scientist – comb through the arid lands looking for meteorites, each with its own powers.
Following the screening, a discussion will take place with Pauline Julier, artist and Maïa Hawad, researcher, Jean-Michel Frodon film critic, journalist and teacher at Sciences Po, and moderated by Martin Guinard, Curator at LUMA Arles and Salma Mochtari, Research Associate at LUMA Arles.
Last-minute tickets: on site before each screening, subject to availability.
