Three screenings are planned: one dedicated to a heritage film (Hausu/House by Nobuhiko Ōbayashi and The Host by Bong Joon-ho), another dedicated to a landmark feature film from 2022 (En corps by Cédric Klapisch, Bruno Reidal by Vincent Le Port, Falcon Lake by Charlotte Le Bon) and, finally, a premiere (Mad God by Phil Tippett, Chien de la casse by Jean-Baptiste Durand and Suzume by Makoto Shinkai). The cinemas will also offer activities (quizzes, concerts, blind tests, etc.), designed by the student organizers also.
