   "title": "Physics talk: did the Universe begin? Science Forum, Villeneuve-d'Ascq",
   "description": "The Forum départemental des Sciences in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, next to Lille, invites the public to an evening lecture by Jean-Marc Lévy-Leblond, a theoretical physicist and emeritus professor who edits the journal Alliage. His subject is the Big Bang and the question people always ask next: what was there before it? He argues that the idea of an absolute beginning owes more to the traps of language, and to a loose reading of the equations, than to the physics itself. Without disputing scientific facts, he offers a careful but accessible reflection at the meeting point of science and philosophy, about time, infinity and the words we use. Entry is free and the listing recommends the age of 12 and above. It is a Wednesday evening from 18:30 to 20:00, in French. The forum lists a telephone, an email and a web page for questions.\n\n«L’Univers a-t-il vraiment eu un commencement ?»\n\nStarts 18:30, ends about 20:00.

   "description": "On Wednesday 13 January at 18:30 the MucMA culture space on the Cité scientifique campus in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, near Lille, marks the opening of the exhibition Art et physique : restituer les couleurs by artist Alexandre Le Bourgeois. The exhibition reports on his AIRlab residency inside the university's laser, atoms and molecules physics laboratory. On the same evening the university's culture department unveils a 26-minute documentary, Les plaques précieuses d'Auguste Ponsot. The film shows the scientific heritage of the University of Lille and a fascinating collection of interference photographs made around 1905, recognised as a national treasure, and it revisits the rare process invented by Lippmann, Nobel prize in physics in 1908. Entry is free, there are 160 places, and the language is French. The evening runs from 18:30 to 20:00. A film and an exhibition opening give strangers a lot to talk about afterwards.\n\n«Les plaques précieuses d'Auguste Ponsot»\n\nStarts 18:30, ends about 20:00.

   "description": "On Saturday 30 January 2027 at 20:00 the Cinéma Le Méliès, in the Triolo shopping centre in Villeneuve-d'Ascq near Lille, screens the French documentary Au-delà de la haine by Olivier Meyrou, from 2005. The OpenAgenda listing says it echoes the stage show Citadelle at the Rose des Vents. The film follows the family of François Chenu, who was beaten to death in 2002, and shows their long process of speaking again about the events before and during the assize trial, including interviews with the defence and civil-party lawyers. According to the listing it documents the parents' fight not to be consumed by hatred, and it is more than a film about homophobia: a plea for tolerance and respect for others. Tickets are 3.50 to 6 euros. Seeing a documentary in a cinema is a quiet way to share a serious evening with others. The screening starts at 20:00 and ends at about 20:44.\n\n«Au-delà de la haine»\n\nStarts 20:00, ends about 21:44. Source: OpenAgenda — Ville de Villeneuve d'Ascq (open data).",

   "description": "On Friday 19 February 2027 the cinema Le Méliès in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, in the Triolo shopping centre, shows On vous croit, a Belgian film from 2025 by Charlotte Devillers and Arnaud Dufeys. The listing presents it as an echo of the stage show Affaires familiales by Émilie Rousset at La Rose des Vents, the national stage of Lille Métropole. The story is of Alice, who finds herself before a judge and cannot afford a mistake. She must defend her children, whose custody is being questioned, and the question is whether she can protect them from their father before it is too late. The screening lasts about an hour and eighteen minutes, and the tickets cost between 3.50 and 6 euros, so the lowest price is used here. The subject is serious, which may prompt conversation.
