As day and night meet in perfect balance, we turn to a film where love, longing, art and fate are constantly pulling in opposite directions. 🤎🍂

Set in the theatrical world of 19th-century Paris, Marcel Carné’s poetic masterpiece follows the enigmatic Garance and the four men drawn into her orbit, including the silent mime Baptiste. Behind the theatre curtains, lives intersect, separate and return - like the changing seasons themselves.

Made during the darkest years of the Second World War, Les Enfants du Paradis is also a celebration of theatre, imagination and the human need to keep creating, even in uncertain times.

🍁 The Autumn Equinox reminds us that every ending carries the beginning of another season. And some stories, like this one, live forever between light and shadow.

Thank you, Tony Gatlif, for the journeys.
For the music.
For the people you brought to the screen.
Latcho Drom. 🖤✨

Today, we remember Tony Gatlif (1948–2026), the French-Algerian filmmaker whose work was deeply connected to Roma culture, music, displacement, identity and the search for freedom.

Throughout his career, Gatlif developed a distinctive style of filmmaking in which music, movement and human stories came together naturally. Films such as Latcho Drom, Gadjo Dilo, Exils and Djam explored journeys across borders and cultures, often focusing on people and communities rarely given space on screen.

His cinema was full of rhythm, emotion and a powerful sense of place, celebrating cultural diversity while questioning ideas of belonging and home.

His voice and his films will continue to travel. 🖤

Lights. Camera. Kick-off. 🎥⚽🏆
Tonight, two Mediterrenean countries: France 🇫🇷 vs Spain 🇪🇸.

Different directors. Different scripts. Same goal: a place in the final.

Whatever the result, tonight belongs to football—and to everyone who believes the beautiful game can be as captivating as the best films.

“I didn’t have very clear ideas about the scarf. I was very religious, but my parents and I were pretty modern and progressive”.
Marjane Satrapi 🙏🏻🤍

Marjane Satrapi, the acclaimed Iranian-French graphic novelist and filmmaker best known for Persepolis and its animated film adaptation, died in Paris on 4 June 2026 at the age of 56. Multiple news outlets, including Reuters, reported that her family said she died “of sadness” a little over a year after the death of her husband, Swedish producer, actor and screenwriter Mattias Ripa.
