One of the back-to-school events will undoubtedly be the presentation of the restoration of Fernando Arrabal’s film, Viva la muerte! Long censored and almost invisible, this cult film was brought back by the Cinémathèque de Toulouse and screened at the last Cannes Film Festival as part of the Cannes Classics.
The opportunity to return with Arrabal to the history of film, its filming, and the adventure of its restoration that will be the history of our institution. This is indeed the first image restoration of a heritage film to have been fully implemented by Cinémathèque.
