Na Hong-Jin’s Hope plunges a remote mountain village into escalating dread after mysterious attacks sever communication and outside aid. Alternating tense set-pieces and intimate character moments, the director blends operatic horror with rigorous social observation. As some defend the settlement while others venture into the mountain and disappear, ignorance and panic spiral toward devastating consequences. Lauded at Cannes 2026 for its ferocious imagination, Hope is a visceral, atmospherically charged examination of fear and community under siege.

This interactive event explores seed dispersal strategies through playful competitions that mimic natural mechanisms. Participants examine how wind, animals, and gravity shape seed spread and survival, comparing adaptations such as aerodynamic structures, adhesive coatings, and mass traits. The Seed Olympics frames aerial acrobatics, gravity marathons and adhesive “darts” as experimental scenarios to investigate ecological functions, evolutionary trade-offs and seed fitness, revealing how dispersal influences plant distribution and community dynamics.
Join illustrator Irène Schoch in a playful workshop where children reinvent the flap-book format and design their own dressed, colourful animals. Young creators will imagine characters, cut and decorate paper silhouettes, then combine their pages into a shared book to flip, mix and invent new metamorphoses. The session encourages hands-on exploration, bright colours, tactile cutting and collaborative play while nurturing imagination and illustration skills.
In French. Kids ages 5 and up.
Yasuka Ishikawa, founder of Midnight Blossom, invites you to discover “Nos Kimonos” (Our Kimonos), an exhibition that presents the kimono in a new light: not as a static museum piece, but as a living garment worn in everyday life in Geneva.
Opening: Thursday, October 15 at 17:00, with a kitsuke (traditional Japanese dressing) demonstration at 18:30, and refreshments provided by small Geneva-based businesses dedicated to showcasing authentic Japan.
The exhibition is part of the “L’Automne de la culture japonaise 2026” program, supported by the Consulate of Japan in Geneva.
The Handover is a trio led by Ali Eissa (oud), Ayman Asfour (violin) and Jonas Cambien (vintage synth and organ). Their music blends hypnotic, improvised journeys rooted in the Nile delta with krautrock, psychedelic textures and avant‑garde jazz exploration. The result is an expansive, trance‑like soundscape that moves between delicate oud lines, bowed violin atmospheres and analog synth drones. An extended record set by Alan Bolumar follows, exploring complementary sonic territories.
