Voyages, Voyages: for films that move? - Tuesday 27 June
Is the world definitively closed?
Or does it remain enchanted by the call of the far-off, the melancholy of loss, the hope of new encounters? Let's go see. The Arte television series Voyages, Voyages offers us the journals of directors who have gone to re-explore the four corners of the Earth: wanderings and spontaneous visions envelop these journeys filmed simply, using the mini-DV camera as map and compass.
Debates led by Patrick Leboutte, essayist and itinerant critic.

Wattkins & Co: Political Fiction, English-style - Wednesday 28 June
Is it because the English live on an island that they seek to get a better hold on the world by reconstructing it once back home?

Peter Watkins' films, in a tradition that goes from Humphrey Jennings to Kevin Brownlow, examines the fractures in History and the great popular uprisings while at the same time leading a frontal battle against the media, which conditions our behaviour. Hundreds of non-professional actors give body and voice to today's political questions through those of yesterday.
A meeting with the father of "political fiction".
Debates led by Philippe Pilard, critic and British film historian.
An exceptional screening of his last, monumental film of 5 hours and 45 minutes, La Commune, Wednesday 28 June at 8pm in the small projection room, preceded by a world premier of his very first film re-discovered, The Web (1956).

Round Table: what is a documentary film actor? - Thursday 29 June
"Narcissus at work"
Between fiction films that go looking for their actors among the "salt of the earth" and documentary films that create heroes of their characters, where lies the truth, the reality?
The author-actor raises the ante: We've lost count of the films where the director plays his/her own role. What is false?
More than ever, cinema is collectively consumed narcissism, for better or for worse...

Jean-Louis Comolli, Patrick Leboutte and Laurent Roth will be participants, as will Catherine Bizern and the filmmakers from Addoc. Round table with Boris Lehman, Claudio Pazienza and Vincent Dieutre, led by Patrick Leboutte.
Screenings of Gisèle Braunberger's La direction d'acteur par Jean Renoir and Robert Kramer's Berlin 10-90.

The Espace FMR, in partnership with the CNTL - Wednesday 21 June to Thursday 29 June
Quai Marcel Pagnol, at the foot of Fort St Jean (follow the signs)

Time suspends its flight at the Espace FMR bar from 6:30pm until far into the night, and the savours of the sea can be tasted at the CNTL Restaurant, moored at the quay.
