When he is mistaken for the leader of Earth, he must forge unexpected bonds, manage a crisis of intergalactic proportions, and ensure that he doesn't miss the opportunity to live his biggest dream.

SKY WATCHING WITH THE NAKED EYE [REGISTRATION]

— The night is essential!
SAT · 12 Jul · 9:45 PM
Parking Lot

Every night, above our heads, we have a beautiful ever-changing firmament: the sky's landscape is different every hour. In this session, guided by Martin Pawley (film critic and Astronomy enthusiast), we will learn to recognize with the naked eye the brightest stars and discover the patterns they form, as well as how to orient ourselves using the North Star. We will also understand that night is essential for the animals and plants with whom we share the planet.

FAMILY WORKSHOP  [REGISTRATION]

— Little Monsters from Planet Emotion: collage workshop
SUN · 13 Jul · 4:30 PM
Kid's Area · 2nd Floor


What if emotions came from another planet? In this collage workshop, each child will imagine and create their own intergalactic little monster — a creature from a distant galaxy where feelings take on shape, color, and even antennae! Through cutouts, colors, and textures, we’ll explore what we feel and bring to life unique monsters that represent emotions like joy, curiosity, fear, or courage. A journey where no one feels the same, but everyone can create freely.

— Voyage to space: Drawing a story on film
SAT · 19 Jul · 3 PM
Kid's Area · 2nd Floor


In this workshop, we embark on a cosmic journey. On 16mm film, we’ll draw a voyage through space: undiscovered planets, floating creatures, black holes, and stars. In the end, we’ll project the drawings and play with shadows and synthesizers to bring this universe to life.
