Cinematic Siblings
Sometimes, films from the same director seem to be in dialogue with one another. But connections, from unmistakable to the unexpected, also exist between works based on the same story or films with similar thematic or aesthetic concerns. Our Cinematic Siblings invite audiences to discover how no film stands alone.

Les mains négatives
Negative Hands France 1979 | Marguerite Duras | vostEN | 14’ | digital | documentaire
De la nuit à l’aube, une longue marche dans un Paris désert, guidée par la voix de Marguerite Duras, s’adresse à un homme préhistorique dont les mains hantent les cavernes d’Altamira.
« A city symphony in silence. Follow Duras’ roving camera and melancholy musings on love and loneliness. Her words betray her images — a disjunction that defines her style. Against the ineluctable passage of time, her voice perdures, and meaning blooms from dissonance. » (Le Cinema Club)

All We Imagine as Light
France-Inde-Luxembourg 2024 | Payal Kapadia | vostEN | 115’ | digital | Cast : Kani Kusruti, Divya Prabha, Chhaya Kadam
► Grand Prix, Festival de Cannes 2024
In Mumbai, Nurse Prabha’s routine is disrupted by a surprise gift from her estranged husband, while her young roommate Anu struggles to find privacy with her partner.
« I did have a lot of influences such as Marguerite Duras' Negative Hands (1978), which is a marvellous film about the city waking up with voiceover and music. That's my favourite film of Duras'. It's a very short film but it's really nice. » (Payal Kapadia)
« Kapadia has established her rare talent for finding passages of exquisite poetry within the banal blank verse of everyday Indian life. » (Variety)
