On Monday 15 December 2025, Cercle Cité announced it will host a new exhibit as part of the 2026 edition of the Luxembourg City Film Festival.
The exhibit, titled “Here Comes the Sun: Art, Energy, and Natural Intelligence” will run from Friday 6 February 2026 until Sunday 5 April 2026 at the Ratskeller exhibition space on Rue du Curé in Luxembourg-Ville.
According to Cercle Cité, it will feature three works which, through the visual languages of cinema, will explore the relationship of artificial intelligence (AI), human intelligence and “the invisible intelligences that sustain life on this planet.”
Staring at the Sun
“Alice Bucknell projects us into a near future where geoengineering – technologies aimed at deliberately modifying the climate – has become our last gamble with planetary systems. The film maps the territory where technological intervention meets ecological consequences, where human vanity confronts the complexity of climate systems.”
Solar Protocol
“Tega Brain, Alex Nathanson and Benedetta Piantella demonstrate that a solar-powered internet is possible. This work reveals that technology is never merely technical: Solar Protocol functions only through a global network of volunteers. The system is deliberately fragile, dependent on human care and acknowledges its dependence on both solar cycles and cooperation.”
Radiolaria
“In Radiolaria by James Bridle, the silica skeletons of radiolarians – these microorganisms that have spent millions of years perfecting geometric forms that capture light – are superimposed onto solar panels. This visual encounter is a revelation: evolution is the most sophisticated research program on Earth.”
The 2026 edition of the Luxembourg City Film Festival runs from Thursday 5 to Sunday 15 March 2026.
