Lovebox
subtitled OV · 101 min
THE LOVEBOX follows a social experiment built around a simple question: what happens when two strangers meet without seeing each other, without expectations and without anything to gain? Inside a converted horse trailer, they enter a dark, intimate space designed to make room for openness, vulnerability and genuine connection. The journey begins at AfrikaBurn in the South African desert, where the filmmakers encounter a temporary world shaped by participation, gifting and a different way of relating to one another. From there, the LOVEBOX travels into Cape Town and other South African communities, testing whether the same kind of encounters can happen outside the festival environment. Through a series of intimate meetings, the film explores trust, loneliness, love and the human need to be seen — and asks what might become possible when people step beyond appearances, roles and social boundaries and simply meet one another.

Lumière, Le Cinéma!
OmeU
In one of those wonderful coincidences of history, lumière, the French word for “light,” was also the last name of brothers Auguste and Louis, whose brilliant invention, the cinematograph, helped to inaugurate the most beloved art form of the last 130 years. Institute Lumière director Thierry Frémaux uses Lumière, Le Cinema! to guide the viewer through over a hundred shorts—some famous, some forgotten, some never before seen—directed by Lumière and company. In the process, Frémaux illuminates how the brothers employed the camera as a creative instrument as they (and their operators) mastered framing, staging, and subject selection for quotidian and exotic microdocumentaries as well as the first ever fictional motion pictures. The result is not only a glorious re(telling) of the genesis of cinema but a profound meditation on the beautiful world captured—and the mysterious world imagined—by the Lumières.
