Moebius Redux: A Life in Pictures poster
6.6

French artist and author Jean Giraud is one of the most famous and influential comic strip illustrators and authors of all time. He achieved his greatest fame as Moebius - not so much a pseudonym as an alter ego. With his triple-split personality - Jean Giraud, Moebius, Gir - he succeeded in making his work accessible in popular comic strip series like Blueberry, in metaphysical fantasies like John Difool and, not least, to a broad public, with set designs for films such as The Fifth Element. In Moebius Redux - A Life in Pictures an exceptional artist tells his life's and work's story. Extraordinary views on Paris, Los Angeles and the Mexican desert build a visual link between his life and his artistic universe, accompanied by the electronic soundtrack composed by "Kraftwerk" legend Karl Bartos.

Enki Bilal, Souvenirs du Futur poster
NR

What is the studio of Enki Bilal, a major artist of the 9th art who has not stopped creating for over forty years? From the writing to the line, from the story to the color, through the influences, the film restores the creation in progress and opens the doors of the universe to the tormented aesthetics of a man who knew how to impose his style and lift the borders between comics, cinema and contemporary art. Enki Bilal literally reveals the conception of the second part of his album Bug, in which he depicts a future world paralyzed by a computer bug. Between memory and transmission, he draws the past and sketches the future - And his drawing is breathtakingly beautiful.
