Picasso sans légende

Documentary sheds light on the creative process of Ruben Östlund, who is a keen observer of social conditions and portrays contemporary Sweden critically in "The Square".

In 1965 Ingmar Bergman filmed “Persona”, the cult film that brought together all of the Swedish filmmaker’s obsessions and became a turning point in his career.

Zaps, sit-ins, die-ins, flyers, parades: in the early 90s, to fight against the general indifference to the AIDS epidemic, the Act Up movement invented a new language, a new style of activism, spectacular and provocative, which still inspires new generations of activists. This is what this documentary aims to show, by going back into the genesis and making of BPM (Beats per Minute), the 2017 Cannes Film Festival's grand prize winner, six times winner of the Cesar award. The film also shows how BPM (Beats per Minute) intertwines autobiographical memories and romantic lyricism, as close as possible to historical reality, and how Act Up was for Robin Campillo the founding personal experience that made him a filmmaker.

As a major retrospective of her work takes place in Paris from May 2026, this documentary looks at the fascinating life and work of Hilma af Klint (1862-1944). A relative unknown, the Swedish painter was a pioneer of abstract and modern art, pre-dating Kandinsky and Mondrian with many of her mystical paintings only discovered decades after her death.
