In partnership with Radio Grenouille.
In addition to in-cinema discussions, FIDMarseille will be holding one hour and a half of talks and discussions to reflect on the contemporary situation of independent cinema, to take a wider look at the artistic choices of the 34th edition of the festival and delve deeper into the questions they raise, every Wednesday to Saturday afternoon in the relaxed setting of the Brasserie Blum.
One meeting will be devoted to Paul Vecchiali and his legacy: how to produce, how to work with actors, what is artisanal cinema ?
Another meeting will be dedicated to the young filmmaking scene from Marseille. What makes it so vibrant? Which actors, what networks, and what films are made and how?
Based on films from the Official Selection, the first and fourth meetings will address questions central to contemporary independent cinema: that of the image (in the sense of film photography), its visual and political issues, and that of first films, and their specific issues regarding production, fabrication and distribution.
