ABOUT THE FILMS:

DE HUMANI CORPORIS FABRICA, 2022, Dir. Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing-Taylor, 118 Min, Grasshopper Film and Gratitude Films, France

In French with English subtitles.

Five centuries ago, anatomist Andreas Vesalius opened up the human body to science for the first time in history. Today, DE HUMANI CORPORIS FABRICA opens the human body to the cinema. It reveals that human flesh is an extraordinary landscape that exists only through the gaze and attention of others. As places of care, suffering and hope, hospitals are laboratories that connect every body in the world.

FORMAT: DCP

SOMNILOQUIES, 2017, Dir. Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing-Taylor, 73 Min, Sensory Ethnography Lab, France

The camera moves over sleeping naked bodies while a soundtrack relays the sleep talk, nocturnal speculations, and dreams of Dion McGregor, a gay American songwriter whose hallucinatory, salacious, and sadistic dreams were recorded by his New York roommate over a seven-year period in the 1960s.

FORMAT: DCP
