DESCRIPTION:Emmanuelle Antille\, Didier Queloz\nThe Wonder Way\, the fifth
  film by artist Emmanuelle Antille\, is an exploration in search of extrao
 rdinary territories\, terrestrial or celestial paradises\, fascinating and
  uncharted. It's a timeless journey to meet those who imagine other worlds
  in this world. With the exceptional participation of Didier Queloz\, phys
 icist and winner of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics.\n\nThe film screening
  will be preceded by a presentation by the director and a talk by Didier Q
 ueloz\, who will talk about his role in the film and his current astrophys
 ics research.\n\nTHE FILM :\nThe Wonder Way takes the path of wonder to re
 present creativity in all its forms and the forces of dreams. It shows ind
 ividuals capable of creating worlds: phantasmagorical worlds\, fairytale w
 orlds\, parallel worlds. We meet a couple of artists who intervene between
  the map and the territory to represent the void. A miner from Pas-de-Cala
 is recreates a Garden of Eden. A pastor performs a religious ceremony with
  snakes. We visit Phantasma Gloria in Randyland\, Los Angeles\, a gigantic
  translucent installation made of multicoloured bottles. Climb the steps o
 f Charles Ross's Star Axis\, an architectural sculpture that places our pl
 anet on the cosmic clock. Physicist Didier Queloz talks about exoplanets.\
 n\nWe find ourselves between dream and reality\, between the imaginary and
  science\, in a reality that is intensified by the power of fiction and im
 agination. Emmanuelle Antille wonders: "By going out to meet extraordinary
  characters and achievements\, the film speaks above all of territories as
  places of resistance\, of artistic gestures as acts of resilience. Do ges
 tures and creative thinking enable us to survive ?"\n\nThe Wonder Way won 
 the Special Jury Prize in the Swiss Competition at Visions du Réel in 202
 3.\n\nEmmanuelle Antille was born in Lausanne in 1972. She studied at the 
 Ecole Supérieure d'Art Visuel (ESAV) in Geneva and at the Rijksakademie i
 n Amsterdam. Since 1995\, she has been developing her practice both as a v
 ideo artist and as a filmmaker. Her award-winning work has been shown at t
 he Kunstverein in Frankfurt\, the Renaissance Society in Chicago\, the Nat
 ional Gallery in Reykjavik\, the Tokyo Wonder Site\, De Appel in Amsterdam
 \, the Migros Museum in Zurich and the Musée du Jeu de Paume in Paris. In
  2003\, she represented Switzerland at the 50th Venice Biennale. In 2012\,
  she directed her third feature film\, AVANTI\, starring Hanna Schygulla a
 nd Miou-Miou. Discovery Prize at the Namu FIFF. In 2028\, she directed A B
 RIGHT LIGHT - KAREN AND THE PROCESS about the American singer Karen Dalton
 . Award for Best Documentary at the Dock of the Bay in San Sebastian.\n\nD
 idier Queloz is a physicist\, astrophysicist and winner of the Nobel Prize
  in Physics (2019). He is a Fellow of the Royal Society\, Jacksonian Profe
 ssor of Natural Philosophy at the University of Cambridge\, Fellow of Trin
 ity College\, Cambridge\, and since September 2021 Professor of Physics at
  ETH Zurich. Didier Queloz is at the origin of the "exoplanet revolution" 
 in astrophysics. In 1995\, as part of his doctoral work at the University 
 of Geneva\, he and his thesis supervisor\, Professor Michel Mayor\, announ
 ced that they had discovered a giant planet orbiting its sun\, the star 51
  Pegasi\, which lies outside our solar system. The detection of this exopl
 anet was made possible by the development of a new type of spectrograph bu
 ilt at the Observatoire de Haute Provence\, and by the implementation of a
  radically new scientific approach that he devised to accurately measure s
 tellar radial velocity. He and Michel Mayor were awarded the BBVA Prize in
  2011 and the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2019 for this discovery\, which la
 unched the field of exoplanet research. Over the course of his career\, Di
 dier Queloz has detected several hundred planets and measured some of thei
 r physical parameters. He is extending his research programme into the sea
 rch for life in the Universe\, with the main objective of defining the min
 imum conditions for the pre-biotic origin of life\, combining chemical and
  astrophysical constraints.\n \n\n	PRACTICAL INFORMATION:\n	Presentation
