The Foundation presents a screening of the long film Les Sanglières (She Boars) (2025), directed by artist and filmmaker Elsa Brès 

Synopsis
In 1525, in a forest in the Cévennes, peasant women from different regions come together to resist the privatization of common lands. Several centuries later, the forest—now a construction site—is watched over by Annie, a solitary 75-year-old caretaker. One night, the landscape shifts.
