Germaine Dulac film series

Her work moves between cinematic impressionism and formal experimentation, where editing, the texture of light and visual rhythm become poetic material. A feminist and anticlerical, her perspective challenged the limits imposed by her time, opening paths that would influence later generations of filmmakers.

The film La Coquille et le Clergyman (1928), based on a text by Antonin Artaud, is now considered cinema’s first surrealist work: an explosion of images that explores desire, power and the subconscious with unprecedented freedom.

Coinciding with the exhibition Germaine Dulac. Je n’ai plus rien, the series presents a complete retrospective of her filmography, from 19 to 30 October, including screenings such as La mort du soleil (1922) and Le cinéma au service de l’histoire (1935), accompanied by live music and sound experiments.

More than a film series, this programme invites audiences to rediscover an author who understood cinema not only as moving images, but as an act of artistic and political emancipation.
