A Beginner's Guide to Arthouse Cinema

An introduction to the world of art films

Watch an introduction to arthouse cinema, a film genre focussed on realizing a filmmaker's personal and artistic vision in as uncompromising a way as possible. 

Typically produced outside of the major film studio system and with an intellectual and artistic audience in mind, arthouse cinema can seem intimidating at first, but fret not—this video has you covered.

Profiling prolific arthouse directors like Akira Kurosawa, Jean-Luc Godard and Ingmar Bergman, this visual essay offers a beginner's guide to the genre.

Rick Owens, Temple of Love

The Palais Galliera hosts Paris’ first exhibition dedicated to avant-garde fashion designer Rick Owens, featuring over 100 silhouettes across collections from his early Los Angeles beginnings to his latest works. Fascinated by spiritual ritual, his creations draw on references from Joris-Karl Huysmans, modern and contemporary art, and early Hollywood films, sitting alongside personal documents, videos and never-before-seen installations. Also acting as the exhibition’s artistic director, Rick Owens has collaborated on the curation at the Palais Galliera to create an exhibition trail extending to the museum’s façade and garden. Until 4 January 2026

Heatwave

Presented by New York’s Edwynn Houk Gallery, group exhibition Heatwave explores heat not just as temperature, but as sensation, atmosphere, memory, and transformation. Featuring photographic works by Lillian Bassman, Elliott Erwitt, Lalla Essaydi, Robert Heinecken, Sally Mann, Joel Meyerowitz, Abelardo Morell, Erwin Olaf, and Herb Ritts, the exhibition shows how photography shapes, reveals, distorts, and intensifies perception. Carried by immediacy, sensual intensity and a charged stillness, collectively, these works convey not only how the world looks, but how it feels. Until 1 August 2025
