2006. Fantastic journey
Science+Fiction focuses on French cinéma de genre. Voyage fantastique is somehow a journey to the Festival past, as the winning film of the first edition was La jetée, of Chris Marker, and in 1965 the winning film was Alphaville, of Jean-Luc Godard.
During the opening night at Teatro Miela, while Godard’s scenes are shown on the screen, Robin Rimbaud, alias Scanner, a multimedia artist, performs his electronic music.
The special guests of this edition – which celebrates also Stanislaw Lem, the great Polish novel writer who wrote Solaris and died in March 2006 – are Terry Gilliam and Enki Bilal, both awarded the Urania d’argento, and the writer Harry Harrison, the board president (he was the board president also in 1975).
Among the preview films there is El laberinto del fauno, a Guillermo del Toro’s film.
One of the special programs is Daft Punk’s Electroma, a psychedelic musical about the odyssey of two robots that want to turn human. This film, that has no dialogues, is signed by the famous house music French duo and is filled with a captivating soundtrack and impressive visual effects.
