As part of the 2025 edition of the Fête des Thermopyles, the association UDé - Urbanisme et Démocratie is pleased to present the world premiere of Lire aux cabinets, a dance film by Clara Gibson Maxwell. The film combines elements of social documentary with experimental cinema, inspired by various writers, including Patti Smith (La salle des homme au 25e étage), Henry Miller (Lire aux cabinets), Cornelius Castoriadis (on Victor Hugo and the sewers of Paris) and George Orwell (1984).

María Barea
February 18, 2025
The Film Gallery is pleased to host a new discussion around the collective work Cinématérialismes: Nouvelles approches matérialistes de l'audiovisuel, published by Mimésis in 2024.
Éric Thouvenel, professor at the University of Paris Nanterre and author of the text “Matérialités invisibles et intangibles” in cinema, will join the editors of the book for a conversation. With Cinématérialismes aiming to reframe the description of the visual and sonic materiality of images within a critical approach that considers the socio-political dimensions of production—technical, economic, and ecological—the discussion at The Film Gallery will focus on materialist practices in cinema and their potential political implications.
The event will also include a screening of the experimental documentary short film Quiet Zone (2014) by Karl Lemieux and David Bryant.

OLIVER BANCROFT
SPECIAL SCREENING
THE FILM GALLERY is pleased to present a special evening dedicated to the British artist and filmmaker OLIVER BANCROFT. This screening offers a chance to discover a selection of films by the London-based artist, who has spent the past twenty years exploring film as a medium for exhibition. Rather than a retrospective, this is a recomposition: a different way of bringing his films together to reveal new ways of seeing the narratives, both within each work and in the spaces between them. Films looking for a moment to hold one's breath. A donkey, a butterfly, a tree, a singer and her song, shot in colour, in black and white, with sound and in silence. An exploration of stories that emerge through the collision of images, including sequences that have never been shown before.
The screening-performance will be followed by a conversation between Oliver Bancroft and Pip Chodorov.
