LA VÉNUS ÉLECTRIQUE by PIERRE SALVADORI at 09:00

Paris, 1928. A young painter in vogue, Antoine Balestro, has been unable to paint since his wife died, to the despair of his gallery owner, Armand. One drunken evening, Antoine tries to contact his wife through a psychic, but is actually speaking with Suzanne, a humble carnival worker who has sneaked in to steal food.

RENDEZ-VOUS AVEC / WITH PETER JACKSON at 11:00
Runtime: 1h30
THE MATCH by JUAN CABRAL & SANTIAGO FRANCO at 15:15
Runtime: 1h31
THE MATCH tells the story of the iconic match between Argentina and England, played at the Azteca Stadium during the 1986 Football World Cup.
Using rare archival footage such as Maradona’s controversial “Hand of God”, the film reconstructs that event as a living memory but also as the culmination of more than two hundred years of tension, encounters, and conflict between the two nations.
From the earliest moments of contact and dispute to the Falklands War as a direct precursor, the film traces a historical journey that reframes what happened on the pitch. In doing so, it subtly contrasts the beauty of football with the lingering absurdity of war, allowing the echoes of both to resonate into the present day.
CENIZA EN LA BOCA by DIEGO LUNA at 15:45
Runtime: 1h42
Lucila leaves Mexico with her younger brother to reunite with their mother in Madrid, who had left a few years earlier to chase a better future. When they finally arrive, the bitter, suffocating reality that awaits them proves far harsher than Lucila had imagined. Still, she is determined to make the most of this fragile new life.
GROUNDSWELL by JOSH TICKELL & REBECCA TICKELL at 18:45
Runtime: 1h34
Groundswell is a decade-in-the-making documentary at the forefront of a global movement bridging climate and regenerative agriculture. Across five continents, the film encounters farmers, scientists, and Indigenous leaders reshaping humanity’s relationship to land. Narrated by Demi Moore and featuring Woody Harrelson, it reframes global agriculture not as a driver of collapse but as means to balance the Earth’s climate before it is too late. Through intimate portraits and striking imagery, Groundswell reveals how regenerative practices draw down carbon, revive biodiversity and improve the lives of poor farmers. As droughts, floods, and food insecurity intensify, the film invites us to see the very Earth under our feet as a vital and overlooked solution to humanity’s greatest crisis.
L’ABANDON (FORSAKEN) by VINCENT GARENQ at 21:30

In the aftermath, voices collide to confront a devastating truth: how a rumor, a click, and collective inaction can lead to the irreparable.
