The Heat of a Thousand Suns + I Love You, I Love You
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!
Winner of the award for Best Actor for Claude Rich, 1968 San Sebastián Festival
A disillusioned and bored man flies into space in search of adventure. No longer believing he can fall in love, he is swept off his feet by a woman he meets.
Undergoing a scientist's experiments, a man relives his past, in particular his relationship with a woman. For this science-fiction film, or rather poem-fiction, Jean Boffety composes images in which realism and dreams exist alongside each other, their objective material presence clashing with the story's subjective temporality.
Alain Resnais
Alain Resnais was a French director, screenwriter, and editor. As the director of Hiroshima, mon amour (1959) and Last Year at Marienbad (1961), he quickly became regarded as one of the major figures of the French New Wave and one of the fathers of European cinematic modernity, alongside Roberto Rossellini, Ingmar Bergman, and Michelangelo Antonioni, for his way of challenging classical cinema grammar and deconstructing linear narration. A filmmaker who enjoyed experimentation and was able to question himself with each new project, Alain Resnais was recognized for his ability to create new forms and enrich the codes of cinematic representation by blending it with other arts: literature, theater, music, painting, and comics. His work encompasses a wide range of themes such as memory, political engagement, intimacy, death, and dreams.
