Cinema Events Brittany

20 years! Travelling has reached adulthood: a longevity and a success (almost 45 000 entries for previous editions) that would not have dared to imagine Hussam Hindi and Eric Gouzannet, co-founders of the festival and the association organizing it, Clair Arcane, the main actor of the reindeer rennes. Each winter, in January-February, the festival invests the film theatres in Rennes and its periphery around a theme - unique: the city. The 20-year special edition was devoted to Jerusalem (with Israeli and Palestinian films), but also to Dublin, New York, Helsinki, Buenos Aires, Algiers, Cairo, Tokyo. Students and film fans invest rooms that are always full, to discover filmmakers, safe or classic values of film heritage. If a festival dedicated to the city of Martin Scorsese or Japanese cinema, one of the best in the world, seems to be obvious, cities less known for their cinema culture book excellent surprises, and that's the great wealth of Travelling.

With half a dozen films in competition and a wide selection of shorts and features, this 30-year-old festival is a testament to the vitality of British independent cinema. The event in Dunkirk has launched the careers of "small films" in France that nobody would have bet a kopeck on, such as Billy Elliott or The Full Monty. Its small size allows it to remain a friendly place of exchange, where one can easily discuss with the artists present.

The Combat festival offers, during three days, several sessions of short films selected and organized into themes. Meetings with professionals are offered for rich exchanges with the public. Anchored in its territory to enhance its value, this film festival has everything of a great and asserts itself in the region, in the land, as an original, qualitative and open cultural offer for all. Cinephiles, curious.... It's an event to discover!

Since 1986, the West Coast Association has been campaigning for the promotion of cinema, particularly the short film in Brittany. So every year, it is an indispensable rendezvous that it organizes: the European Festival of Short Films. The opportunity to propose an exceptional programme, a range of the film practices of our neighbours, from the Czech Republic to Norway, to Hungary and Ireland! This is a summary of the best European films that can be found in the rooms in Brest. But not because, since some particular genres are put to the honor, the crazy and endearing films in Brest Off, a type of cinema that takes risks in the Competition UFO, Breton achievements in Made in Breizh, current problems in Europe short… For the smaller ones, three short films are proposed to awaken their curiosity. Animated films and fiction from 3 years old, "For Pitchounes", for 8 years "Tales and colours", and for 13 years "Mines of nothing." Meetings, educational booklet, exhibitions, workshops: everything is done to enable children to better understand the world of images. All of them will be spoiled, small and large, enthusiastic or curious, amateurs of escape or meeting. Every autumn, therefore, it is an invitation to travel to the European Film Festival.
