Dahomey
The documentary film ‘Dahomey’ by Senegalese director Mati Diop is a powerful work that deals with the restitution of looted cultural property from colonial contexts. It focuses on the return of 26 royal artefacts from the Musée du Quai Branly in Paris to the Republic of Benin – once part of the Kingdom of Dahomey.

The film accompanies this historic moment not only as a political event, but also as a cultural and emotional return. It shows how young people in Benin deal with their colonial heritage, what questions they ask and what visions they develop for the future. The result is a multi-voiced portrait of a generation grappling with history, identity and justice.

Bonnard: Pierre & Marthe (Originaltitle: Bonnard)
Pierre Bonnard (Vincent Macaigne) is already an established French painter when his artistic career takes a surprising turn. Marthe de Méligny (Cécile de France), who confidently presents herself as a noblewoman, enters his life and becomes his muse – an encounter that fundamentally changes Bonnard’s work. He paints her portrait again and again, eventually creating over 140 paintings and 700 drawings of Marthe. But Marthe is not content with the role of muse. She aspires to be an artist herself. Pierre finds this difficult to accept and is increasingly confronted with the question of who actually plays which role in their relationship…
