Additional Information

Discover two immersive 360° films:
- Artou, Abderrahmane Sissako, 2026 (28 min) - Selected for the 2026 Venice Film Festival. Following their father’s death in Europe, three sisters and three brothers fulfil the patriarch’s final wish: to be buried next to his own father, in eternal sleep, in his native village in Mauritania.
- The Island of the Dead, Benjamin Nuel, 2018 (8 min). A timeless journey, from an ordinary apartment to our final destination, guided by Charon, the ferryman of the Underworld. The horizon is the same for everyone: unchanging, inevitable. The question has always been the same, across all civilisations and throughout time: what comes next? Is there even anything at all?
Meet Abderrahmane Sissako
We are delighted to welcome director Abderrahmane Sissako on Sunday, 4 October 2026 at 6:30 p.m., in the festival’s chill zone, for a presentation of his film Artou.
