North of Toulouse, the village of Saint-Génies will experience a week of short films
The short film festival “Détours en ciné courts” is back at Saint-Génies Bellevue tomorrow. There is something for all tastes and all ages.
The short film festival “Détours en ciné courts” will open on Tuesday with a week of varied screenings. Meeting with Marie-Pierre Genaille, the cornerstone of this delicious moment close to home.
What are the main novelties of this edition?
This year Détours celebrates its 25th anniversary and the organizing team has planned many surprises. The opening night this Tuesday will be exceptional, the Saturday morning session at 11:30 a.m. will be as light as musical notes to get the big day of short films off to a good start on Saturday. Also on Saturday, a master class at 4:30 p.m., the theme of which will be “The director and the actor, a story between love and constraint. » (Free and without reservation). On Saturday evening a popular ball will conclude this 25th anniversary.
How will the opening session be different from previous ones?
Tuesday, the Rivages evening, will be the one where the seaside will be in the spotlight, on the plates, during the musical games and of course at the cinema. From 7 p.m., a “Moules Frites” food truck (without reservation) and a beer at the refreshment bar allow you to get into the mood. And to participate in this maritime journey, it is possible to come dressed with a marine accessory (striped sweater, cap). It’s all good to have fun that night!
What will be this guinguette spirit that you are announcing?
Détours is also an atmosphere. The place that hosts the festival is a place that is completely re-dressed, transformed, sublimated during this week of the festival. Music, decor in recovered and restored furniture in a bohemian chic spirit, will welcome you in small outdoor lounges conducive to conversation or simply to relaxation. A refreshment bar will be open every evening from 7 p.m.
How are the films that will be screened selected?
No less than a thousand films are received every year, sent by production houses around the world. Part of the team, the programmers, then begins the viewing and selection. This activity represents about six months of work for ten people.
What advice do you give for a good evening?
Come from 7 p.m., settle in comfortably, to music, have a bite to eat and watch the sessions be lulled by the prevailing atmosphere. Then just continue this good time by enjoying a drink between festival-goers.
