The Nightmare Before Christmas

Festival of the imaginary

‘Le Musée imaginaire d'Oli’, is first and foremost an exhibition designed to be lively and open to all, punctuated by events, concerts, workshops, performances, conferences and open stages. This is the spirit behind the screening of Henry Selick's masterpiece Mr Jack's Strange Christmas, chosen by Oli from the treasures of the Toulouse Cinémathèque.

Jack the skeletal scarecrow lives on Halloween and has to prepare for the festival of the same name. Tired of the repetitive preparations, he decides to go and recharge his batteries in Christmas town. A return trip that will change his life... and the festive season! The Curious Christmas Carol, based on an original story by Tim Burton, is an animated masterpiece and an essential musical tale of the 1990s.
