Event description
The MEM and FICAM invite you to a screening of the film H.E.L.I.O.S. by Spectrum Productions. This production company committed to advancing the social, cultural and economic inclusion of individuals on the autism spectrum by supporting and promoting autistic creative talent in film, media production and the arts.
The film will be shown in French with French subtitles.
The screening will be held in the MEM’s Cabaret. Adapted transport vehicles can park in the drop-off area in front of the museum and there is elevator access to the Cabaret.
The activity is accessible to neurodivergent individuals, individuals with mental or physical disabilities, to wheelchair users and to non-disabled members of the public.
L’Astralopithèque, a work by the art collective Cummings&Pifko, will be shown in the Cabaret from October 21 to 25. It is presented by the digital creation centre TOPO, which will also be setting up a demo area in Workshop 1 at the MEM under the theme, “Art, digital creation and well-being.” The area will include interactive installations, games, a virtual reality experience and websites.
