SAFETY LAST by Harold Lloyd

1923, United States, 1h13

Harold came to Los Angeles to make a fortune. However, he found himself stuck in his job as a small salesman. It was then that the idea came to him: suggesting to his boss that they advertise the shop by having an acrobat friend climb its walls. But, as it turned out, he would be the one that would scale this facade!

MAGIC MONSTER (2023, France, 1h30)

Preview – Documentary film by Grégoire Korganow
With Amala Dianor and the cast of the SIGUIFIN show.

There are nine of them, nine dancers from different African countries. In Saint-Louis, under the bite of the Senegalese sun, they get to know each other, work together and imagine a contemporary dance piece that reflects them. From this shifting material, choreographer Amala Dianor, with his attentive and demanding eye, moulds day by day the contours of a show entitled “Siguifin”, which in Bambara means magic monster.
