Synopsis

In 1964, Arthur C. Clarke revealed his vision of the future in front of the BBC's cameras. Famous for having collaborated with Stanley Kubrick on the screenplay of 2001: A Space Odysee, the British author cast his mind ahead, with remarkable precision, to what are now the transformations brought about by the advent of the digital era.

Arthur C. Clarke's futurist visions and archival textures are intimately integrated with video, offering an amazing journey in time.

Butterfly, by Florence Miailhe

A man swims in the sea. This brings back memories. They are all connected to water, from his early childhood to his adult life. This will be the story of his last swim.

🦋 'Butterfly' won the Crystal Bear Young People's Jury at the Berlinale and was selected for the Official Competition at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, where it received the André Martin Prize.
