Started on July 12, the 7th edition of the Harvest of the 7th Art, the International Film Festival of Pauillac ends this Sunday, July 17. Sharing, emotions, societal messages and young talents… This edition was memorable, without forgetting the moments of laughter!
Back to event!
Before detailing the winners of the prizes awarded during this 7th edition, let’s dwell on this last day of the Festival… This Sunday revealed some nice surprises!
Zabou Breitman and the animated film
Having come to present her film Les Hirondelles de Kaboul, an adaptation of Yasmina Khadra’s novel with illustrations by Éléa Gobbé-Mévellec, she told us about her passion for animated films. The watercolors, portraits of the actors, allow the retransmission of each emotion, each gesture, each expression. An “artisanal” realism that brings strength and sometimes even violence to the initial text. For her, this film is a turning point in her career, she explained it during a Master Class at the Eden Cinema.
Jean Becker: 89 years of talent
Gérard Depardieu, Fanny Ardant, Benoît Poelvoorde: this is the cast that is offered Jean Becker for the film Les Volets Verts, adaptation of the novel by Georges Simenon, a tailor-made film for Gérard Depardieu who signs there one of his greatest roles. In full discussion with the spectators after the screening, Jean Becker confides to us that the first time that Gérard Depardieu saw the film, he remained circumspect for ten minutes, seated in his armchair, silent. It is to live these moments that this great director continues again and again to tell us stories.
Between you and God, there is no one, is there?
This replica is a key moment in this film that you will be able to discover in theaters on August 24th.
Women’s Response
More than a documentary, it is a cinema film directed by Marie Perennès and Simon Depardon. With Riposte Féminine, they bring to the big screen testimonies of women victims of gender-based violence and street harassment, but they also give voice to associations fighting against feminicide.
Cinema is also political – Marie Pérennès
This 7th edition of the Harvest of the 7th Art ended on a high note with the preview screening of the film Without Filter by Ruben Östlund, Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Jocellyne Aymé, the Director of the Festival des Vendanges du 7ème Art et du Cinéma l’Eden spent two weeks in Cannes to select this program, a quality work that marked the jurors and the public who came in large numbers to each screening, whether they either at the Eden cinema or in the open air on the quays of Pauillac during these 6 days of Festival.
Epicureanism and Médoc Wines
Because this cultural and cinematographic event also aims to promote the wines of the Médoc, loyal partners have once again been present to have their best wines tasted by the guests of honor and the public. The finest wine houses in the region had come together.
