En the thick of the news on the challenges facing the agricultural world, “The Price War”, by Anthony Dechaux, will be the subject of an evening on Friday the 17th. The screening will be followed by a debate with the presence of the farmers’ union.
To remember among the strong films, “Yellow Letters”, by Ilker Çatak, Golden Bear at the Berlinale this year. It denounces the Erdogan regime in Turkey through the journey of a teacher and an actress losing their jobs. “Romería”, by the Spanish Carla Simón, depicts a young girl searching for her roots. “Savage” offers a great role to Céline Sallette, as a mother faced with her daughter’s return to nature in the Cévennes. Also on display will be a lesser-known Maigret, with Denis Podalydès facing a “lovesick” man.
Students and young audiences
In April, Ciné Cinéma is participating for the first time in the student film festival, with two classic films chosen by young people from Périgord: “Virgin Suicides”, by Sofia Coppola, on Wednesday the 1st, and “Stand By Me”, by Rob Reiner, on Friday the 3rd (with a €3 entry fee for students).
Two films will be shown in partnership with Odyssée: “Gone Girl”, by David Fincher, on the theme of manipulations and, about the world of radio, “Tandem”, by Patrice Leconte. And Orson Welles fans will rediscover “The Lady from Shanghai.”
During the school holidays, there will be a wide range of options for young audiences. “Planets” imagines that a nuclear explosion has destroyed Earth. Projected into space, four dandelion seeds must grow elsewhere. “Celeste’s Odyssey” tells a story of friendship between a little girl and a robot. Finally, a heartwarming moment is guaranteed with “The Secret of the Ethiopian Wolf,” featuring footage by Baptiste Deturche and Adrien Lesaffre, showing a predator collecting nectar from flowers.
