Science fiction pushes the boundaries, explores the improbable, and envisions the future of humanity. It also exposes us to extravagant visual effects and the inventive power of cinema, reflecting our deepest fantasies. In cinema, science fiction is immersive, creating worlds suddenly within our reach. This summer, over one hundred films from the history of cinema will allow us to witness this!

In a society where eugenics is widely practiced, it's common to prefer people with perfect genetics, especially for the job of astronaut. Vincent, a simple child conceived naturally, tries to pass himself off as Jerome, with impeccable genetics, to achieve this.
Andrew Niccol
Andrew Niccol is a New Zealand screenwriter, producer, and director. Beginning his career in advertising, it was by selling his script for The Truman Show (1998) that he managed to direct his debut feature film, Gattaca (1997). A science fiction film characterized by its elegant aesthetics and exceptional craftsmanship, Gattaca earned widespread critical acclaim. Following this success, Niccol ventured into different genres, delivering the satirical hit Simone (2002) before delving into a gritty and cynical narrative with Lord of War (2005), starring Nicolas Cage. After a brief hiatus, Niccol returned in 2011 with In Time (2011), featuring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried. He then embarked on directing the first installment of a prospective science fiction franchise for teenagers, The Host (2013), followed promptly by Good Kill (2014), which garnered praise from critics and competed at the Venice Film Festival.
