Hong Sangsoo
New Works
With 28 films and three short films in 26 years, Hong Sang-soo is one of cinema's most productive filmmakers. This two-part retrospective provides an opportunity to dive into the world of the South Korean director. Each of the films is like the stones of a building in which one briefly becomes lost in a delirium of differences and repetitions (and reductions). The second half of the retrospective is dedicated to Hong's later works. [...]December 4 to 18, 2022

The Great Adventure
Arne Sucksdorff is Sweden's most prominent non-fiction filmmaker, having directed sixteen shorts and four feature-length films between 1940 and 1965. The distinction between fiction and non-fiction is a question of perspective and it is true that Sucksdorff staged his films and could spend hours and hours waiting for the right moment to occur before shooting his carefully planned compositions. He was his own director of photography and his œuvre is among the most visually striking in Swedish cinema. [...]December 10, 2022
