The SPACEWALKS retrospective extends its journey into a selection of essential short films from across cinema history. From early cinematic wonders to animated and burlesque masterpieces, these works capture in condensed form what cinema has always offered at its core: imagination, invention, and wonder. Open to all audiences, this program traces another path through the cosmos – playful, inventive, and already deeply fascinated by the idea of elsewhere.

A Little Film Lesson: The Origins of Science Fiction

Before the screening, a short film lesson will invite audiences of all ages to explore the origins of science fiction cinema. From the pioneering special effects of Georges Méliès to the imaginative worlds of animation, this programme brings together three classic short films that reflect cinema's enduring fascination with the Moon and space travel. Filled with wonder, humour, and invention, these films reveal how cinema learned to dream of outer space long before humanity took its first steps on the Moon. A delightful family adventure introducing the pioneers of cosmic journeys on the big screen.

► This programme will also be presented in English on 26 September at 15:30, but without the introductory film lesson.
