Some words about borders' project
The aim of the Borders project is to bring the audience back into focus, to propose new ways of loving the cinema and to teach people to know themselves and others in a collective space: the film theatre. This is a space of liberty, discovery, exchange, discussion and creation, a space where people can construct themselves as human beings, a space where there's free access to the imaginary.
This project contributes to the cultural activity of the department of Val de Marne, and has been selected by the federal Ministry of Youth and Sport in the context of the Plan Banlieue, the development plan for the suburbs.
The project has several components. The Borders cycle, first of all, involves programming 15 European films from 12 different countries. These films are proposed to pupils during school time in secondary schools in Val de Marne. They are accompanied by presentations and discussions on the cinema, in-class activities and filmmaking workshops.
The second component is a cinema lab called Borders Cinelab. This comprises fifteen activities each lasting two and a half hours, this time after school hours. These are cinema master classes, an initiation to audiovisual techniques.
Then there is the Borders cinema education camp. The young people educated in the context of Cinelab now focus on a film project aimed at "imagining Europe". This involves filming the world in order to transform it. In 2008, the young people selected shot a fiction film in Smucka, a small village in Bosnia Herzegovina. The is called Pola Pola. They worked on location with inhabitants of the village of Tuzla and at the same time shot reportages about the host country.
Two festivals support these different activities. The festival Un Notre Monde - Borders (One world, our world) takes place in November and focuses on promoting earlier productions of the Borders project. Participants meet in workshops and shoot short films in a single day. Then in February there's the festival La tęte dans les étoiles (Head in the stars). Here young people can "see, understand and create images" and meet film professionals (directors, special effects technicians, stunt people, distributors).
