Documentary screenings
In partnership with Cannes Cinéma and the CN D Centre national de la danse.
The Festival wants to develop a theme around the image and offers the public a film journey, in partnership with the CND (the new Dance Film Library) and Cannes Cinéma. A programme of films and documentaries on dance will take place throughout the festival, naturally in connection with the shows on offer.
As a result, we can enjoy in particular documentary films based on major figures in dance, such as Maurice Béjart, Sasha Waltz, Christian Rizzo, and better understand the career of Brigitte Lefèvre or the process of creating a ballet, for example by showing Titicut Follies, a documentary by Frederick Wiseman and the origin of the ballet by the same name.
Free admission, limited seating available.

« Titicut Follies »
(1967, 1h24) – Documentaire, Etats-Unis
Réalisateur : Frederick Wiseman
Dans la prison de Bridgewater (Massachusetts), une institution réservée aux criminels malades mentaux. Le film décrit de façon sobre mais détaillée les conditions d’emprisonnement des criminels à la prison d’État. Titicut Follies montre comment les prisonniers sont traités par les gardiens, les travailleurs sociaux et les psychiatres. La réalité impitoyable des conditions de détention infligées aux malades-prisonniers dans l’établissement a provoqué l’interdiction du film pendant 25 ans.
Rencontre avec le réalisateur Frederick Wiseman et Brigitte Lefèvre, directrice artistique à l’issue de la projection.
Modération : Stéphane Bouquet, artiste associé au CN D
Frederic Wiseman
Frederick Wiseman est un cinéaste américain né le 1er janvier 1930 à Boston, Massachusetts. Dans ses films, il est réalisateur, scénariste, producteur, monteur, preneur de son, et parfois même interprète. Documentariste, il s’est principalement appliqué à brosser un portrait social des grandes institutions américaines.
Dès son premier documentaire ses principes de base sont posés : ce sont l’absence d’interviews, de commentaires off, et de musiques additionnelles pour privilégier un lent apprivoisement des personnes à la caméra, jusqu’à ce qu’elles ne la remarquent plus. Il accumule des centaines d’heures de tournage sur un temps relativement court et ne garde au montage qu’environ un dixième des images. Montage qui dure alors plusieurs mois, pour découvrir les sens cachés des rapprochements qui naissent sous ses ciseaux. Il apporte une grande attention aux corps, aux gestes, tout en restituant ou en mettant en scène les silences. Telle une mosaïque, les figures émergent de la juxtaposition patiente des morceaux, et son travail, entre vérité et fiction, convoque l’attention et la réflexion de ses spectateurs.

From all four corners of Europe, the choreographers, each in the unique nature of their language and approach, pose questions that reflect universal preoccupations, timeless and yet so modern.
Presentation
The Festival will host the 3rd part of the project begun and accompanied by Eric Oberdorff, artistic director of the Cie Humaine, which allows for showcasing the work of 4 companies that are members of the European Studiotrade network.
What impact do our fears have on our bodies, our relations with each other, our souls? Are we safe? How can we preserve our existence as individuals and not allow ourselves to be submerged into the anonymity of the crowd by the social rules, norms and moral codes imposed? What is beauty? What is the significant, fragile, impossible part emanating from the body I’m looking at? What happens when dream and reality collide? What part does magic play? Or fiction?
By their performances, in the form of showcases, short film screenings, meetings and discussions by way of masterclasses, the artists form the echo of a promise and deliver part of their vision of our era. A turbulent day that illustrates the dynamics of the independent European choreographical scene.

SAFETY LAST by Harold Lloyd
1923, United States, 1h13
Harold came to Los Angeles to make a fortune. However, he found himself stuck in his job as a small salesman. It was then that the idea came to him: suggesting to his boss that they advertise the shop by having an acrobat friend climb its walls. But, as it turned out, he would be the one that would scale this facade!

MAGIC MONSTER (2023, France, 1h30)
Preview – Documentary film by Grégoire Korganow
With Amala Dianor and the cast of the SIGUIFIN show.
There are nine of them, nine dancers from different African countries. In Saint-Louis, under the bite of the Senegalese sun, they get to know each other, work together and imagine a contemporary dance piece that reflects them. From this shifting material, choreographer Amala Dianor, with his attentive and demanding eye, moulds day by day the contours of a show entitled “Siguifin”, which in Bambara means magic monster.
With the support of Onda – Office national de diffusion artistique as part of the Écran vivant programme, Lux Scène nationale I Arts visuels + Arts numériques, Valence, and the Institut Français.
Free entrance subject to available seats
