Special Screening: Lawrence of Arabia

Dive into the timeless cinematic epic Lawrence of Arabia, David Lean’s masterpiece awarded 7 Oscars!

This legendary film, carried by Peter O’Toole’s feverish eyes, tells the true story of T.E. Lawrence, a young British officer sent to the Middle East in 1916 to assess the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire. Fascinated by the local culture, he joins the rebels and becomes a central figure in the uprising. Between military feats, mythical desert crossings, and inner turmoil, Lawrence embodies a character as charismatic as he is ambiguous, whose destiny intertwines with the upheavals of a region and the fall of an empire.

This special screening will be introduced by Simon Blondeau, a member of the cinema team, who will guide you through the behind-the-scenes of this cult film and the historical issues it raises.

A unique opportunity to rediscover this monument of cinema, where film tells the story of colonization, its dreams, and its illusions, all under the starry desert sky.
