Il pleuvait des oiseaux (And the Birds Rained Down) is an adaptation of the award-winning Canadian novel by Jocelyn Saucier. It shines a spotlight on the orderly and quiet lives of a group of hermits in the wilderness of Quebec, who have chosen to “live only for themselves”, amidst the aftermath of a wildfire that all but destroyed the town that they once knew. Between the arrival of two new members of their group, an octogenarian who was unjustly institutionalised all of her life, and a young, investigative photographer determined to tell the story of the area’s deadliest forest fire through in-person interviews, the rich tapestry of their lives unfold, revealing the beauty of both living with nature and second chances.

Founded in 2019, Cuturi Gallery is a contemporary art gallery based in Singapore with a strong focus on emerging Singaporean talents, many of whom form the core of the gallery ’s roster. While rooted in its local context, Cuturi Gallery also actively collaborates with emerging and established artists across borders, extending its vision beyond Southeast Asia and Asia-Pacific, fostering meaningful exchanges that bridge cultural perspectives between the East and the West. This ongoing dialogue is central to the gallery ’s mission.
In 2020, the gallery launched an in-house residency programme, offering both local and international artists the opportunity to develop new work in Singapore, culminating in a solo presentation. In 2022, Cuturi Gallery began a programme of satellite exhibitions in London, with plans to establish a permanent international outpost by the end of 2026.
In March of 2026, the gallery opened a Parisian space in the heart of the PalaisRoyal, strenghtening its international position and its ambition to foster dialogue between the Asian and European artists it represents, as well as curators and transnational audiences
