This is the movie theater used for all the screenings: Le Melville an art cinema in need of money to survive.On the poster above the entrance you can read (in French): "Save Le Melville".
This goes for the film festival as well.
If you happen to be a lover of film and not least art films and nordic films, having some money left, why not contact Le Melville in order to become a sponsor, no matter how small your contribution is.
This is the tent/pavillion where all information could be obtained, tickets bought, discussing film with other film lovers, listening to concerts and drinking coffee, eating croissants.
And in this photo you see three enthusiastic cineasts and cinephiles surrounding Aurore: Patrick, James and Eric.Aurore had met both Patrick and James before but not Eric I think.
They became our special conversation- and discussion partners concerning film and culture and they also became my friends, as well as they were Aurore's!
All three very nice, witty and humorous men passionate, not only for the cinema but for cultural expressions in all its diversity.
From Patrick we got a DVD containing a film he made some years ago when the Swedish director Vilgot Sjöman (a director Aurore met when writing an academic work about his film 491) visited Rouen and Cinéma Nordique.
The film portrays Vilgot Sjöman when walking in the footsteps of Gustave Flaubert, visiting different places where Flaubert lived and worked during his days in Rouen.
A very charming film with the son of Sjöman functioning as interpreter.
Vilgot Sjöman did however speak french but his son even better as he has worked and lived in France for many years.
James is a film maker who also visits different film festivals and he does really have a huge knowledge of film. As he has some connections with Châteauroux and visits the town from time to time, we'll hopefully be able to meet him in a couple of weeks when he arrives to Le Centre.
Below some posters showing some of the films this year and earlier years:
