Small Saint -Etienne Bulletin - Saint -Etienne concerts: Festival Musique Classique - Beauzac and its good notes - article published by Nicolas Bros<

Photo: The artists present for the carte blanche

Here is a rendezvous in the heart of summer that smells of music and emotion. Les Folles Notes de Beauzac offers a second edition in the form of a true first edition, within the Domaine de la Dorlière. An appointment marked by a very singular emotion this year, after the death of a great lady of music, Florence Badol-Bertrand, famous oboist and musicologist at the origin of the acquisition of this Altiligérien place and the project which accompanies - combining guest rooms, bistronomic restaurant, equestrian center and cultural center. The Badol-Bertrand family has courageously mobilized to mount this second edition when sadness had seized them. "Despite the fact that we were all very affected by this sad news, we decided to go anyway and set up a friendly edition," explains Pierre Badol, son of Florence Badol-Bertrand, who took over the torch of his mother's project.

Emmanuel Bertrand & Pascal Amoyel at the helm

In terms of programming, the event lives up to what one would expect from an event led by this family where music is of great importance. The pianist Pascal Amoyel will be there, presenting two shows: his unique Looking For Beethoven (Friday July 30) and a piano recital entitled Les Légendes (Sunday August 1). Another highlight with a carte blanche given to cellist Emmanuelle Bertrand and her bassist brother Jérôme Bertrand who promises a festive concert accompanied by. As for Marie Badol, she will stage her horses in a musical equestrian tale for young and old that promises emotion and sharing. Finally, chef Corentin Escudero will complete the program with a cooking workshop around Mozart.

Les Folles Notes de Beauzac, from July 30 to August 1 at the Domaine de la Dorlière in Beauzac (43 - Haute-Loire) More information, program and tickets at www.follesnotes.com

Immerse yourself in the heart of Gallo-Roman history during a discovery trip to Lyon. Croix-Rousse, Old Lyon or Confluence. Between tastings in the famous Lyonnais traffic jams and activities of all kinds, there's no time to get bored!Wandering the streets of Lyon by mountain bikeThere are several ways to visit this metropolis: on foot, by car or even by bus. The most fun, however, is the bike. Once saddled up, start your ride on Place Bellecour, with a superb view of Fourvière. You will pass in front of the statue of Saint Exupéry, then head for the banks of the Rhône! While some are lively, others offer a quieter setting where you will be surrounded by greenery. If you wish, you can end your mountain bike ride at the Tête dOr park. Between its botanical garden, its emblematic statues, its zoological park... It is a little corner of paradise. Then continue towards the Opera to finish in front of the painted wall of the Lyonnais, this 800 m2 fresco emblematic of the city.Discovering an exceptional casinoLyon is not limited to its old buildings or its fascinating history.

No place to park? Plugs? Let's honk? Soaring gasoline prices? The advantage in Sainté is that you can do everything on foot. Example with these ten points of cultural interest, within gunshot distance of each other. 10,000 steps a day they said? Wide ! (and at worst, there is the tram!)

Cerise Rochet | Tuesday, January 25, 2022

While a deliberation of the municipal council on Monday evening consisted of a vote on the authorization of installment payments on subsidies to associations, the opposition questioned at length the elected official in charge of culture, Marc Chassaubéné , regarding its decision to withdraw the 54,000 euros in subsidies usually granted by the City to the Arcomik humor festival. The evocation of the subject by Isabelle Dumestre and Pierrick Courbon, of the group Saint-Etienne Demain au Conseil, follows the article published last Wednesday in the Canard Enchaîné, directly questioning the assistant to Culture. Arms between the two parties, the debate will have been the opportunity to learn that the GSM association led by Simon Javelle and Grégory Cometti, which made a first request for subsidies for the organization of another humor festival in Saint-Etienne finally gave up, at least temporarily, presenting neither a date nor a schedule. Not having these elements, the allocation committee decided to

Neighbourhood |The "French Capital of Culture" year was launched in Villeurbanne, in the presence of Roselyne Bachelot. Beyond a few event markers, it is especially on the side of permanent devices that we must look at, like the minimixes, these small cultural centers welded within schools.

Sebastien Broquet | Tuesday, November 30, 1999

It is in orbit, this special year of Villeurbanne, the one in which it became the very first French Capital of Culture this new label initiated by the Ministry of Culture which chose the city of the solid emblem of decentralization, the Théâtre National Populaire, to be its first incarnation. Roselyne Bachelot, the appointed minister, came in person to launch the festivities on Friday January 7, barely disturbed by angry intermittent workers. But past the party favors we were deprived of a week earlier, what do we have left to observe during this year? Mayor Cédric Van Styvendael and his teams had tried for this candidacy by integrating into their file several elements already conceptualized and imagined for their electoral campaign program, like a digital festival (now the IrRéels) and especially minimixes, veritable cultural embassies arranged within schools, which, from an idea to be developed over the course of the mandate, have become a key element of this cultural year (Anne Hidalgo, socialist candidate for the presidency of the country, visited one on Friday 14

The third edition of the Lyon Whiskey Festival should have taken place on February 5 and 6, at the Palais de la Bourse. The event, co-organized by Agence Tintamarre / Unagi group (of which Le Petit Bulletin is a part), is intended for insiders as well as the less experienced, passionate about the world of whisky. Which are found around masterclasses, workshops, a dedicated bookstore and of course tastings. Facing health constraints, the Lyon Whiskey Festival has been postponed and will take place on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 May, still at the Palais de la Bourse.

Parilly is open Return to the Hippodrome de Parilly for the Bron Book Festival which will reconnect with round tables and face-to-face meetings, according to the expression consecrated by the management. With this year, a strong new theme based on current events and current issues ecology, feminism, social violence, freedom, utopia, identity where the threat and the principle of precaution is king: run the risk. With the idea that literature is perhaps one of the last bastions of assumed risk. As every year, we will find there the best of the authors of the September and January intakes, mainly national, but always with a small touch of international, between confirmed writers and emerging voices, children's authors and illustrators and a large part left to the social sciences. . The program is not known but you can make an appointment for the opening of March 11, the festival traditionally begins with the presentation of the Summer Prize awarded by readers of libraries and media libraries in the region.

NEWS | According to information from the Canard Enchaîné released this Wednesday morning, the municipality and the city of Saint-Etienne are about to promote a future comedy festival to the detriment of Arcomik, formerly Arts Burlesques. Reactions from the protagonists.

Cerise Rochet | Wednesday, January 19, 2022

This Friday, January 21, the municipality and the metropolis of Saint-Etienne could respectively grant, via an allocation committee, a subsidy of 55,000 and another of 20,000 euros to the GSM association. Recently created by Simon Javelle, also boss of CKel Prod and programmer of the Words and Music festival, the latter would carry a new comedy festival project on the territory. Here is the information reported by Le Canard Enchaîné in its pages for this Wednesday morning Information that the palmipede parallels with the recent withdrawal of subsidies of 54,000 and 9,000 euros, hitherto allocated each year by the same two communities to another festival of humor, born Arts Burlesques in 2003, before becoming Arcomik in 2019. Enough to create some rififis between these different cultural actors, especially since, still according to Le Canard, the affair would be eminently political, and potentially linked to support from Simon Javelles wife for Mayor Gaël Perdriau during the 2020 campaign. Business ?Director of the Arcomik festival, Farid Bouabdellah confirms all of what the

It must be recognized that the consecration of European Capital of Culture would suit him like a glove. In 2023, we will know which of the candidate cities will be in the spotlight in 2028. Here, the National Stage is brand new, the FRAC is preparing to move to expand, the Cooperative de Mai is one of the most stirrings of France and the short film festival is preparing to show 154 films.

Festival | After La Rue des Artistes in Saint-Chamond, it is the turn of the Foreztival in Trelins to announce the first names in the program for its next edition. Hot in front!

Cerise Rochet | Monday, January 17, 2022

Two large stages separated by a field of potatoes without the potatoes, a campsite, almost non-stop music for 3 days, sun, heat, sweat but that's okay, meetings, love in the middle of thousands of other people who love at the same time, sharing, big marades, a sick summer experience: 2022 marks the long-awaited return of Foreztival on the track of summer festivals. If this news is enough to make aficionados shudder, - Foréziens in the blood or in the heart -, the others should also begin to wriggle when discovering part of the line-up of this edition. First name, first nice shot for the band of friends responsible for organizing the event, the first big moment in perspective for the 2022 version of Foreztivaliers: Damso, an artist caressing the peaks of current French-speaking rap with Qalf Infinity (the most listened to album on Spotify in 2021), should without too much no doubt setting fire to the Saturday evening.

15 days that we are well seated, a month and a half that we have no longer the right to danceInevitably, at some point, we will have to stretch a little. That's good (and it gives a little breath of fresh air just thinking about it): the beautiful days of 2022 are already shaping up to be full of high knee lifts and small hops. In Saint-Chamond, the La Rue des Artistes team has just unveiled the program for its 25th edition, all in catchy rhythms. Come on, a little more patience, the track is not very far away. Friday, June 17, the festivities will start with a stage shared between the French-reggae-always-acclaimed-of Danakil, and the warm voice on hypnotic beats of Karimouche .

We would be tempted to believe, even to say, that we know the story by heart And yet, we could well learn a little more. NTM is the story of a group of friends who took over the hip-hop movement that had just arrived in France, to make it their means of expression. With Suprêmes, Audrey Estrougo stages the sensational beginnings of French rap, embodied by the legendary duo formed by Joey Starr and Kool Shen. Released in December, the film arrives on the screens of Méliès during two screenings, one of which, in Saint-François, will be followed by an open mic with DJ FAB from the Les Bugnes collective. So, if you think you have a good flow Go! Suprêmes + open rap scene (open mic), Wednesday January 19 at 5:30 p.m. at the Méliès Saint-François in Saint-Etienne, single screening on Tuesday January 25 at 9 p.m. at the Méliès Jean-Jaurès.

It's cool, to have accepted our request for an interview, it seems that you dont like itYes its true, I think I suck at interviews. My thing is to make jokes, not to answer questions: suddenly, I'm not necessarily very comfortableAre you all right? The period is a little tense, but we imagine that you are happy to finally be able to be on stage with your show Pfff? Yes, I am really happy about that, especially since we had a hard time. I started my show in March 2020 And I also stopped it in March 2020, suddenly. We are on the 5th cover, there it seems to go, but we hope very much that it will hold. With this show, you have two objectives: to leave richer, and that people leave less stupid. Has it worked so far? On the first objective, it's going well, I leave indeed a little richer each time. On the second, it is more complicated on the other hand, because the show still contains a lot of bullshit! More seriously, this story is linked to the fact that I chose a formula

A young girl who is doing well | An unexpected and delicate portrait of an apprentice actress under the Occupation filled with discreet autobiographical splinters, Sandrine Kiberlains first feature film is above all an exceptional exercise in directing. Meeting with a young author who is doing well.

Vincent Raymond | Thursday January 20, 2022

You waited a long time before daring to write and direct. In this, your approach is parallel to that of your father, David Decca, who had waited around the same age to embark on playwritingSandrine Kiberlain: Ah, you picked me! It actually takes time to dare to make a film; especially when, like me, we had the chance to work with great directors. And then, I am very happy as an actress so it is not to fill a lack or a void, but because the path of the actress that I have been following for two years (laughs) has made me more more interested in the whole team, in how a film was made And then, entering the universe of others fascinates me; obviously, it stemmed from the desire to tell me about myself especially to have a theme or a subject I think I have always dreamed of making a film; but what movie? We had to wait until we had a real point of view, an angle that made the difference and that was treated from a unique angle. Whether it's a nece idea

Nadja Pobel | Wednesday, January 12, 2022

At the start, there is Monteverdi's Orfeo. Jean Bellorini, who has always given a primordial place to music in his creations, is so interested in it that he presented it to the basilica of Saint-Denis in 2017. Why Orpheus, to whom is granted to find his sweetheart Eurydice in the darkness, can't help but turn around to see her and lose her forever? It is a rereading of this story that the director of the TNP commissioned from Valère Novarina, with whom he had already traveled in 2008 for an imaginary Operetta. This author, cantor of invented language, produces such a satellite language no, we don't understand everything in the Game of Shadows and it is not necessary that is fundamentally down-to-earth. The parts of the body are named there without detour, the man is returned to his animal species without this depreciating him, quite the contrary he is a "animal which speaks" because "there has never been anyone inside” tells us a “child of anger”.

Jean-Emmanuel Denave | Wednesday, January 12, 2022

The choreographic year begins in a big breath signed Mourad Merzouki. With his new piece Zephyr, the figurehead of French hip-hop launches ten performers into the turbulence of a very concrete wind on stage, with which and against which it is a question of dancing, on music by Armand Amar and at the through a scenography rich in diverse and astonishing objects (at the Maison de la Danse from January 11 to 21). a violin concerto by Philip Glass, a veritable vertigo of movements set to the accelerated tempo of the music (from January 26 to 30 at the Maison de la Danse). Hip-hop will return to the Maison de la Danse (March 23 to 26) with two companies, including an all-female Femme fatale, and Mazelfreten, which hybridizes hip-hop and electro. There will still be electricity in the air with the tenth edition of the Sens Dessus Dessous festival (at the Maison de la Danse in March), dedicated to emerging talents in contemporary dance, with for example the Flemish Jan Martens and his d

Jane by Charlotte | The daughter of whom we know and her mother surrender (and deliver) each other in a double portrait in the mirror holding as much catharsis as mutual taming, on the timid edge of the public and the audience. Meeting with Charlotte Gainsbourg.

Vincent Raymond | Wednesday, January 12, 2022

In concrete terms, how did you arrive at this dialogue opening the film, in Japan over a cup of tea with your mother? Charlotte Gainsbourg: It didnt take me long to get started. I first contacted the producer of my clips. So it was easy to put together a team with the head-of-op I knew. Between the time I asked my mother if the idea could seduce her and the fact of going to Japan to make it happen, it was not that long. But she did not like this first exchange. She didn't know what I wanted to do; I myself did not know. I had developed an interview with lots of questions, telling myself that I had to be as sincere as possible, that it be direct, intimate and unprofessional. But precisely, it was shocking for her to have to answer personal questions in front of a team that she did not know, thinking perhaps that I was going to make a documentary like she has already done plenty. Suddenly, she acknowledged the blow and told me "we stop, I don't want to start again

Vincent Raymond | Wednesday, January 12, 2022

What is personal in your film? Nessim Chikhaoui: I was an educator in a MECS (social childhood home) for 7 years in Draveil, and then 3 years in an AEMO ( educational assistance in an open environment) where we follow young people who are still at home. Many situations in the film are real and experienced, others fictionalized. Its important for me to show this aspect of the job, which you dont necessarily see in all documentaries. Well, there are still a lack of social workers, psychologists, but I couldn't include everyone, so we focused on educators and young people for scriptwriting reasons. There are already a lot of characters. Why does your hero land in this environment after missing the Sciences-Po competition? The idea was to bring along someone who was not at all destined to do this profession.. Me, I would have liked to be a sports or CPE teacher, but we chose something quite high and a diploma that speaks to everyone. In fact, I

In September, everyone knew that the business would not be easy: away from theaters for months, the public seemed to have lost the habit of going out, probably preferring evenings with friends, or sofa shots. -good little homemade dish-Netflix. These new practices were also translated into the mode of “consumption” of culture, more centered on last-minute cravings.

Sequence | Les Ambassadeurs du Méliès are high school students who love cinema, who see the latest theatrical releases, and who share their favourite. Today, Elise and Noah talk to us about their "Nugget" of the month, The chef, the latest feature film by Philip Barantini, with Stephen Graham in the title role.

The editorial staff | Thursday January 6, 2022

For Elise, ambassador of the Simone Weil high school: "A sublime work" It is Christmas time, in the kitchen of a great chef in decline. In the audience of the dark room, the pressure rises and becomes unbearable, while delicious scents escape from the screen. Opening the doors, it is the beginning of the service, with, on the menu, the worst and the best of the human race. The Chef is a sublime work shot in a single sequence shot, which gives this particular impression of living the action, and highlights the environment and all the characters: they are no longer actors, they truly ARE those beings that we see evolving on the screen. The film manages to capture those moments in their lives where things get stuck, after which nothing works… And we challenge you not to appreciate them, because they are so imperfect that it is endearing. For Noah, Fauriel high school ambassador: “A storm of contradictory feelings” The chef, a restaurant, a team, a chef and a single sequence shot! If Philip Barantini's new film is a great technical feat, both for the actors and

Be careful not to confuse it with Bresse des Hautes-Vosges; the one in question here is mainly in the department of Ain (which also includes the Pays de Gex, rich in its border with Switzerland, Dombes and Bugey) and bites into the Saône-et-Loire and the Jura . A natural and non-administrative area, it occupies the northwest quarter of the Ain, encompassing the Revermont massif which culminates at 768m at the Signal de Nivigne, a paradise for paragliders. Nothing is flat on this agricultural land covered with corn and quite a headache for cyclists - however far from the 1500m of Grand Colombier (Bugey). So what to do in Bresse? Strolls and restaurants galore since it is here that the only poultry in France to be awarded the controlled designation of origin grows, whether they are turkeys, capons, chickens or pullets with their famous blue legs. A minimum of 10m² per animal where it draws a third of its food is required. Their firm flesh is perfect.A city: Bourg-en BressePeaceful prefecture, Bourg-en-Bresse cons

Baronnies provençales (2015)At the gates of Vaison-la-Romaine, Dieulefit and Veynes, this very recent park has a wide reach in the Hautes-Alpes. Temple of aromatic plants (thyme, lavender...), it suffers from demographic erosion but its fruit trees and in particular its olive trees make it an essential stopover in the region. And the Milky Way, due to the lack of artificial light, is visible everywhere. Chartreuse (1995) Surrounded by two regional natural parks (Vercors, Chartreuse) and perhaps soon three (Belledonne), Grenoble is one of the "gateway cities " of this PNR where the summit of Chamechaude culminates (2082 m). Land for hiking (1300 km marked!), the Chartreuse is also the playground of roe deer, wild boar, deer or chamois.

Italy | Large foreign city closest to Lyon (outside Geneva), Turin is worth so much more than the industrious image that it conveys in our regions.

In this late autumn, the place is ghostly. Silence of forest in the middle of these enormous concrete buildings which wind in the hollow of a valley, overhanging Villard-de-Lans. At the foot of the buildings, the chairlift is at a standstill, the tennis court is getting old. Emerging from the ground at the end of the 1970s, during the rush for white gold, the Glovettes complex can accommodate, in the heart of winter, up to 5,000 ski holidaymakers. The rest of the year, forty people cross paths there from afar. Among them is Agathe Chion, a director who, after having wandered around the theaters of Berlin and Brussels, has taken a radical turn with her spouse, children and dog to move into the Glovettes family apartment.

A collection of clothing not pre-assigned to a genre, this is the niche on which the Grenoble brand Intrépide studio has just launched. Pink t-shirts, black hoodies, mauve or burgundy sweatshirts, regardless of sex, sexual orientation, morphology: the 24 pieces in the Intrépide studio collection are meant to be worn by everyone. At a time when the clothing is increasingly “genderless”, is the brand's approach purely opportunistic or “authentic and sincere” as it claims? Justine Blanchin, its creator, answers us: “We have imagined a brand that is as ethical and as close as possible to our values. We wanted it to bring visibility to those who don't have it, to give a true representation of society and to be perfectly transparent. She also assures us that she has checked the good working conditions.

In one of these streets that the curfews plunged into darkness, we are celebrating again. We now also eat Thai food there, thanks to Chan. We are on rue Désirée. Pedestrianized, but nevertheless bottled up every evening Google Street View has not ventured there yet because people converge there when the bars close, to hang around a little longer, especially near Ayers Rock.

Jean-Emmanuel Denave | Tuesday, January 4, 2022

Since 2003, the Le Bal des Ardents bookshop — and its collection of some 25,000 books — has become a veritable sanctuary for lovers of good literature, alternative magazines, art and humanities books… Le Bal also offers second-hand books but, over time, space has run out. Francis Chaput-Dezerville (who runs the Bal) has therefore just opened, since the end of November, a new space located in the same street, a few meters from the parent company. Les Fleurs du Bal (is there a reference to a collection of poems by Charles Baudelaire in the name of the place?) are devoted to second-hand books and also to exhibitions of artists linked to the tastes of the bookseller (artists participating by example to the Cahiers Dessinés, or to magazines of art brut or alternative art). Currently, it is Nylso who presents d

Arts | Bringing together ancient art, modern art and contemporary art, the exhibition À la mort, à la vie! captures the theme of vanity in all its dimensions. And turns out to be much more an ode to the living than a morose or morbid statement on the vanity of our existence.

Jean-Emmanuel Denave | Tuesday, January 4, 2022

The opening of the exhibition To death, to life snaps! We are welcomed by a sculpted family from Nigeria, all made of wooden bones. A half-joking, half-worrying family, where the skeleton parents carry their little skeletons on their shoulders, where we dance and grimace, where we freeze and look towards nothingness... Around these sculptures, the painter Erro composes his farandoles of mocking skeletons (1950s), and engravings from the 16th to the 17th century represent the Triumph of Death, the Allegory of Death, Victorious Death, the dances of death! Dizziness of death, then, where it dances among eras, from the 16th century to the present day, from the beginnings of vanitas in the Middle Ages to their rereadings and their reappropriations throughout the history of art. From the plague to the Covid-19, knowledge and views are evolving, but not human finitude or existential questions. Etc'

Expo | A remarkable, fascinating and very complete exhibition, Sur la piste des Sioux, offered by the Musée des Confluences and supported by a sublime collection of objects. Terrible and magnificent dive into the construction of this imaginary Indian who has haunted our western fantasies for a century and a half.

Stephane Duchene | Tuesday, January 4, 2022

Why an exhibition on the Sioux to evoke the popular representation of American Indians? Because Steve Friesen, former director of the Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave, tells us, these representations have in a way made particular features, those of the Sioux, a generality, that of the Indian. Largely because the first vector of this imagery, the Wild West Shows, essentially recruited Sioux riders (mostly Lakotas). Because of their experience, the same Lakotas will be recruited by the Hollywood of the first westerns. The horseman of the plains becoming little by little and for a long time the archetype of the Indian. An archetype that still remains indelible today. So to dissect this image factory, the scientific committee of the exhibition On the trail of the Sioux began by commissioning CREDOC to carry out a survey on the representations of American Indians from the North in France. Whose result sits at the opening of the exhibition

Vincent Raymond | Tuesday, January 4, 2022

What led you to approach this subject and this era? Fred Cavayé: Many things: the desire dates back a very long time. The starting point is a novel by Michel Audiard, The Night, the Day and All the Other Nights which speaks of the Liberation and in particular of the women who are shaved. The bastards under the Occupation, this is a subject that had been little discussed. I remembered films like Lacombe Lucien or the wonderful TV movie Au bon beurre with Roger Hanin. So when Jean-Philippe Daguerre, the author of the play Adieu Monsieur Haffmann sent me the text, I didn't want to read it (I would prefer to discover the play once staged), I made my story out of it. with what little I knew.

In a handful of years, the Lyon duo Black Lilys has taken on a nice thickness. Somewhere between dark pop, ethereal rock and sophisticated folk, the Robin and Camille Faure siblings are a bit like our Angus & Julia Stone French. We sometimes think of the album Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp, Agnes Obel, CocoRosie, The Do or even Björk. At the heart of an organic universe lulled by bittersweet poetry, Black Lilys takes you by the hand on paths lined with lichens, snowfields, old stones and spray, somewhere between Scotland and Iceland. A new album, New Era, is in preparation for 2022, whose very promising singles Yaläkta and Gymnopédie are already announcing the color on the internets.

The people who push our door are above all curious and open people. Opening a space of more than 1000 m2 was intended to maximize the conditions for showing the works. An exhibition like that of Bernar Venet would not have been possible in our historic space rue des Creuses where we also had a real parking problem. In terms of volume and access, everything becomes possible again here, artists more easily agree to go out and show certain works. The project took us two years of reflection and research, then two more years of work. If the town hall helped us find the site, we own it, we are at home here!

Cerise Rochet | Monday, January 3, 2022

Known for his light comedies during the 1930s, director Georges Stevens, documentary filmmaker for the American Army during the Second World War, will forever be marked by the horror discovered in the extermination camps. In 1959, he adapted The Diary of Anne Frank for the cinema, while the book has already sold millions of copies around the world. Sublime in its ability to reflect the feeling of confinement of the characters in their hiding place, at the same time as their anguish and the strong ties that unite them, this film proves to be a very faithful transcription on the screen of the teenager's work. To see or see again at the beginning of January in Saint-Etienne. Le Journal d'Anne Frank, by George Stevens on January 6 from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the cinematheque in Saint-Etienne.

SCREENS | Adapted from a novel by Philip Roth that had been on his mind for a long time, Desplechins deception is also a pro domo plea in favor of the artists right to transmute the truth of those around him in his works. Even if it means confusing private love and public fictions.

Vincent Raymond | Thursday 30th December 2021

Late 1980s. A successful American writer temporarily exiled to London, Philip welcomes his young English mistress to the small apartment where he works. Between two somersaults, they talk, or rather she talks and he listens to her, taking notes as he has always done with his conquests. In the evening, he finds his official companion or his social obligations, sometimes exchanging with his former liaisons, all of which have left their mark on his work. And vituperates at will against systemic anti-Semitism in the United KingdomA more verbal than wordy film, centered around a couple (not always the same, although the man remains the same), Tromperie stands out in the filmography of Desplechin by its relative linearity since it accompanies a double process: the construction of a love and that of the codependent work. Admittedly, Roubaix, une lumière (2019) already presented a more disciplined narrative structure than usual for the filmmaker, but this was above all because it was part of a very particular genre.

“Dusting off the image of the museum”? Surely not. Because a museum is never dusty. It is a place that lives, teems, in which people work and visitors pass, iron, discover, are interested, learn. Like other structures, however, the Museum of Art and Industry of Saint-Etienne must move forward, to stick to its time, even if its collections are linked to the past. “Over the past 20 years, our audience has changed a lot,” says director Marie-Caroline Janand. It is today in the image of a world which has changed economically, which is attached to the digital universe, and in which people are much more mobile than before. Our desire is therefore to adapt to this world”.An immersive roomIn this adaptation, the museum has already crossed a first

The constellation Pegasus is home to a group of galaxies called the Stephan Quintet (discovered by French astronomer Edouard Stephan in 1878). Of these five galaxies, four are actually close to each other and show signs of interaction. The deformations and long filaments of stars visible in this image from the Hubble Space Telescope are due to the gravitational tidal forces that are exerted. These four galaxies are about 300 million light-years apart. The fifth, top left, bluish in color, is in the foreground, just 40 million light-years from Earth!

In Saint-Etienne, Le Méliès has its “ambassadors”. In Saint-Chamond, Le Véo Grand Lumière will soon have its “team”. The idea? Familiarize young people with the cinema, allowing them to participate actively in the life of the structure. To enable young people to develop their taste for films at the same time as their knowledge, the Véo is now opening its backstage to volunteers. A first team will indeed soon have the task of participating in the programming of the cinema. A second, accompanied by a group of professionals, will be responsible for working on the development of a film festival. A final group will be given between 2 and 3 invitations per month to come and see films at the cinema, and then share their feelings via video clips or written testimonials, relayed on the cinema's social networks.

What is your first assessment of the new season after 4 months of exercise? “The assessment is very mixed for the moment. The most striking fact is that we have far fewer subscribers than before: we currently have 300 subscriptions compared to the usual 850 to 900. On the other hand, we do not come out too badly if we take show by show. Even if reservations are often made at the last minute, several performances were sold out and we are also seeing very good attendance by schoolchildren.

"Never has the listener had so much choice among artistic offerings, never has music been so accessible as it is now, and yet, never has there been so much people listening to the same thing at the same time". This observation, Cyril Balthazard of the label Le Cri du Charbon makes him a bit bitter, tired no doubt, of having to constantly fight to arouse the curiosity of the public. Because, even if the work in the field carried out by independent actors allows certain artists to release records, to sell some of them and therefore to be able to perform live and earn their crust, to carve out a small place for themselves in an industry of the disc dominated by the few big mainstream artists broadcast on the radio is still a challenge. “We receive a lot of requests, and with us too, the places are expensive, continues Cyril.
