Prior to the results of the 4th poetry contest organized by the Compagnie des Arts, the company invited its audience to (re) watch Farrebique.
Around fifty people attended the screening of the film “Farrebique” by Georges Rouquier this Friday, a film that has stood the test of time, 80 years later, remaining an essential reference in documentary cinema. It offers a profoundly human perspective on the rural world of the time, from the perspective of Goutrens, our small village. Filmed on a farm, it follows the daily life of a peasant family, following the rhythm of the seasons. Farrebique left a lasting impression with its authenticity, winning several awards, including the international press critics award at the Cannes Film Festival.
It is clear that the organizers aimed to align with their current theme, which would then unveil the winners of the poetry contest, with the theme being… cinema! While the most distant winners could not attend, the others were present to receive their awards, with a special mention for the public school of Gages, represented by many parents and students from the CM class!
All the selected poems were read by the authors themselves or by a member of the jury, for the absentees. Here are the winners:
- Primary School: CM Class of Gages for their poem “Les accrocs du cinéma”.
- Collège: 1st prize: Casi Louan, for the poem “Cinéma, cinéma, cinéma, transforme-moi” and 2nd prize: Casi Zohé, for the poem “Au cinéma les enfants” (Onet-le-Château).
- Adult: 1st prize: Lyon Dominique (17 370 Le Grand-Village-Plage) for the poem “Salles obscures”, 2nd prize: Pioche Christian (57070 Metz) for the poem “L’accoudoir” and 3rd prize: Grindel Elsa and Allogho Boundzanga (75019 Paris) for the poem “Voyage immobile”.
- Grand Prize of the Compagnie des Arts: Mazella Jean-Claude (34070 Montpellier) for the poem “Pas comme au cinéma”.
- Grand Prize of the City of Onet-le-Château: Creuzet Jean-Marc (46230 Vaylats) for the poem: “Première séance”.
It was a lovely evening enjoyed by all, which concluded with a glass of friendship (fouace and local apple juice, of course).
