Screening – Mary Anning, Fossil Hunter, a film by Marcel Barelli

Digging, scraping, searching. At 12 years old, Mary Anning roams the cliffs of Dorset with one idea in mind : to solve the mystery of a strange sketch left by her father. What she discovers will change her life — and much more.
This story follows the destiny of a passionate young girl, a pioneer of modern paleontology in a society that ignored her. Inspired by true events, Marcel Barelli’s animated creation combines graphic delicacy, lively rhythm, and a touch of romance.

For 70 minutes, we follow this modern-day adventurer, determined to lift her family out of poverty at a time when women had no place in science.
A work about transmission, resilience, curiosity — and above all, that thirst for understanding the world that drives us ever further.
