“Cinéclub” is the story of a small art and rehearsal cinema. The cinema dies with all its workers: the projectionist, the blockbuster, the viewers...One of the few spectators of this little film falls for the blockbuster, which feels no interest in it. The decay of this relationship parallels the decline of the theater, which is disappearing in absolute silence, always empty, apparently without any future, but perhaps they can find a way out.

In 1974, Chilean-French director Alejandro Jodorowsky embarked on the quixotic project of adapting Frank Herbert's influential novel Dune (1969) for the big screen. After investing two years, and millions of dollars, the gigantic project ended in failure; but the artists Jodorowsky brought together to carry it out continued to work together, and ended up laying the foundations for modern science fiction cinema.

Socially inept 17-year-old cinephile Lawrence Kweller gets a job at a video store, where he forms a complicated friendship with his older female manager.
