Programme détaillé et réservations dans l'agenda


Claude Lanzmann
The Place and the Word

3 November – 18 December 2023

 Retrospective I Meetings 

 In the presence of many guests

 Organised by the Documentary Film Library

At the centre of this retrospective is, of course, Shoah, which was listed on the UNESCO Memory of the World Register in May 2023. Claude Lanzmann’s other films are presented as "branches" born out of the subject of the Holocaust, to continue to explore questions, feed debates and respond to controversies. His first televised experiments displayed the "Lanzmann style", a type of cinema structured between place and word, landscapes and faces, with which a representation is formed like a slow hallucination.


The retrospective converges towards the question of what becomes of such a body of work, with multiple sessions in the presence of Claude Lanzmann’s friends and family, work partners, filmmakers, thinkers and researchers; creating dialogue with films from other generations and countries (such as Pawel Łoziński and Wang Bing); and seminars co-organised with other institutions (Ehess, Mémorial de la Shoah, Musée d’Art et d’Histoire du Judaïsme).

Alice Rohrwacher

1st December 2023 – 1st January 2024

 Complete retrospective | Preview | Exhibition | Masterclass | Meetings | Book 
 In the presence of the filmmaker and her guests

Alice Rohrwacher has been a figurehead of young Italian cinema since her first feature film, Heavenly Body, in 2011. She constantly raises questions about the echoes of the past and our roots, travelling between history and myth, rurality and modernity. 
For the first time, all of her work will be exhibited: projections of her entire filmography – including a preview of her most recent, fourth feature film which will appear at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival and episodes from the TV series, My Brilliant Friend; an exhibition inspired by the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, which is the theme of her latest film; encounters, a masterclass and more…

 

As part of Festival d'Automne à Paris

The Ideal Cinematheque of the Suburbs of the World

One session every month

 Screenings and encounters 

 

This monthly event extends the dialogue around fundamental contemporary questions: in the suburbs, where buildings appear and disappear to the beat of human experiences and urban developments, in a cycle that could seem infinite, cinema represents heritage that nowadays must be revealed, saved and shared. This parallel history of cinema is a continuous flow of erasure and disappearances. The challenge is also to question the logic of our fields of meaning, in the critical relationship to works and their reception. What is a filmmaker or a film "from the suburbs"? Which stories fall under this category?

A project based on an idea from filmmaker Alice Diop.

Each month, the teams from Ateliers Médicis and Centre Pompidou choose and present a film, with the filmmaker in attendance as a guest.

 Previews 

 

Through each season and release, the "Trajectoires" screenings trace the work of filmmakers in novel creation and film. Artist films, fiction films, documentaries… the "Trajectoires" screenings build on the connections with artists previously presented at the Centre Pompidou, through retrospectives, installations of the Hors Pistes festival. A constellation of creations.
