Les Années Super 8

Special Screening at Cinéma Lumière Bellecour: Les Années Super 8

📅 Tuesday, June 24 at 8:30 PM
📍 Cinéma Lumière Bellecour
🎤 With David Ernaux-Briot in attendance

As part of the off-site exhibition Annie Ernaux, Journal du dehors presented by the museum, a special screening of The Super 8 Years will be held at Cinéma Lumière Bellecour, with the co-director David Ernaux-Briot, son of the author, in attendance.

This moving documentary weaves together intimate memory and social chronicle through the Super 8 films shot by the Ernaux family between 1972 and 1981. Annie Ernaux lends her voice and her words—drawn from her personal journals of the time—to accompany these silent images, now transformed into archives of daily life, holidays, faces, gestures—and an era.

Les Années Super 8 offers a sensitive testimony to the French middle class of the 1970s, capturing their aspirations, desires for emancipation, and political awakenings in the wake of May '68.

🖋️ A rare and powerful work, at the intersection of cinema, literature, and memory.
