One weekend per month, from October to April, LUMA Arles offers a series of screenings followed by discussions at the Parc des Ateliers, with free admission upon reservation. This year, the program is further enriched with sessions specifically designed for young audiences.
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.
