Screenings As a complement to the Tim Burton exhibition, all the films by the author of Edward Scissorhands will be programmed. Tim Burton’s world is an undeniably personal one, a world evoking childhood dreams impregnated with touches of German Expressionism and low-budget Hollywood horror movies. The illegitimate son of Edgar Allen Poe and Walt Disney, Tim Burton loves ghosts, superheroes, extraterrestrials, pathetic filmmakers and all sorts of touching and grotesque creatures, the pariahs and outcasts of a society sanitized by adults. > Full retrospective > Tim Burton carte blanche > Monsters ! (films for children)	Let’s talk about films and Tim Burton! Lectures, a film experience, colloquium, evening showing... > Conferences and colloquium > L'expérience-cinéma
