En 10 ans le Cinéma n’est pas le seul à avoir évolué. L’Europe, politique et économique a elle aussi retracé ses frontières, gagné ou perdu en droit démocratique, et a répondu à la question : qu’est ce que l’Europe ? par la pluralité. (Bien malin pour dire ce que sera demain…) Les 12 films européens inédits de la compétition de cette année confirment cette situation. En provenance d’Italie, Macédoine, Hongrie, Roumanie, Slovénie, Autriche, Pologne, Grande-Bretagne, Belgique et France tous ces films traitent de près ou de loin de la question du territoire comme lieu d’expression de la fiction ou du politique. La tâche sera rude pour le Jury du festival : Maurice Benichou, Jocelyne Desverchère, Jean-Pascal Hattu, Pierre-Yves Borgeaud, Jérôme Mallien, accompagnés des étudiants. En parallèle de la compétition nous aurons l’immense plaisir d’accueillir : Ken Loach, Robert Guédiguian, Carlos Saura, Lenny Abrahamson, Jean Luc Bideau, Nae Caranfil, Arnaud Demuynck et Emmanuel Saget. Les débats promettent d’être passionnants. Comme Anniversaire rime avec Fête, rendez-vous pour une soirée exceptionnelle le 11 octobre qui se prolongera tout au long du festival par une sélection de longs et courts métrages des années précédentes. Et puis merci : A toutes celles et ceux qui ont contribué au succès du festival depuis 10 ans ! Aux institutions pour leur soutien Aux artistes pour leur confiance Aux spectateurs pour leur fidélité Bon festival ......................................................................................................................................................................... Transmission…(1) It is a great pleasure to announce the launch of the festival’s 10th anniversary… If each year the festival is an event, this anniversary means both an achievement and a bet on the future. The film industry has not been the only one to change in the last ten years. Political and economic Europe has redefined its bor- ders, winning or losing democratic rights. It has answered the question “What is Europe?” by plurality (Who knows what will happen tomorrow…) All of the new 12 European films nominated this year confirm this situation. The films, coming from Italy, Macedonia, Hungary, Romania, Slovenia, Austria, Poland, Great Britain, Belgium and France deal more or less with the issue of territory to create a fiction or express political ideas. The choice will be hard for the members of the Jury: Maurice Benichou, Jocelyne Desverchère, Jean-Pascal Hattu, Pierre-Yves Borgeaud, Jérôme Mallien, and the students. Aside from the competition, we are very delighted to welcome: Ken Loach, Robert Guédiguian, Carlos Saura, Lenny Abrahamson, Jean Luc Bideau, Nae Caranfil, Arnaud Demuynck and Emmanuel Saget. The debates promise to be very exciting. As anniversary goes with celebration, we hope to meet you on the 11th of October for an outstanding evening with screenings of short and full-length films from the previous years; screenings that will continue all along the festival’s period. Many thanks to: Everyone who has contributed to the success of the festival during ten years! The institutions for their support The artists for their trust The audience for their loyalty Have a nice festival, (1) Chanson de Joy Division / Song of Joy Division .........................................................................................................................................................................

Dès la première édition, en 1999, les grands principes de cet événement sont posés : le festival se déroulera dans toutes les salles adhérentes de l’association Cinessonne et aura pour vocation de soutenir la jeune création européenne, tout en parti- cipant à la formation des publics, notamment scolaires. Par la suite, le festival a tout simplement grandi, triplant sa fréquentation, étoffant ses actions d’éducation à l’image, inven- tant de nouvelles formes de rencontres entre les films, les artistes et les spectateurs. D’un festival atypique, il est devenu un événement innovant et emblématique de la politique cinéma du Conseil général. Je tiens donc à saluer l’imagination et le talent de l’équipe de Cinessonne qui, animée par l’appétit de ceux qui veulent tout partager, parvient chaque année à mettre un cinéma de qualité à la portée de tous. Si, ensemble, nous pouvons être fiers de célébrer la dixième édition de ce festival, c’est parce qu’il a su devenir une véritable fête pour tous les Essonniens qui aiment le cinéma. Et je suis heureux de vous inviter à venir nombreux dans les douze cinémas de l’association, découvrir les films, rencontres et surprises que Cinessonne a préparés pour nous. It has been great to see the development of the European film festival in Essonne since its creation. The main objectives of the festival were set since it started in 1999: The festival happens in all of the cinemas which are mem- bers of the Cinessonne association and focus on supporting the young European creation while participating in educating the public, particularly children from schools. Later on, the festival simply kept growing trebling its audience, developing more activities related to image studies and new ways for artists showing their films to meet with the audience. This unusual festival has become an innovative event, which is emblematic of the Conseil général film policy. I wish to praise the Cinessonne team for its imagination and talent, its desire to share its passion and its success in showing quality films to a large audience. Together, we can be proud to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the festival, as it became a real celebration for all the people from Essonne who love cinema. I am delighted to invite you to come to the twelve cinemas of the association to discover films, meetings and other surprises that Cinessone prepared for us.

  • Ariane's Thread Is Also MY Ariane’S Thread
    AGAT Films & Cie presents ARIANE’S THREAD A film by Robert Guédiguian with Ariane ASCARIDE Jacques BOUDET, Jean-Pierre DARROUSSIN, Anaïs DEMOUSTIER Youssouf DJAORO, Adrien JOLIVET, Gérard MEYLAN and Lola NAYMARK 92min – 1.85 – 5.1 – DCP International Sales FILMS DISTRIBUTION 34, rue du Louvre – 75001 Paris, France www.filmsdistribution.com Ph : 01.53.10.33.99 SYNOPSIS _____________________________________________________________________ Ariane, a middle-aged woman, is lonelier than ever in her pretty house. It's her birthday. The candles on the birthday cake are lit. But all of her loved ones have sent their apologies - they're not coming. So she takes her pretty car and leaves her pretty suburban neighborhood to get lost in the big sunny city of Marseille. CAST ____________________________________________________________________ Ariane ASCARIDE Jacques BOUDET Jean-Pierre DARROUSSIN Anaïs DEMOUSTIER Youssouf DJAORO Adrien JOLIVET Gérard MEYLAN Lola NAYMARK Judith MAGRE, doing the voice of the turtle INTERVIEW WITH ROBERT GUÉDIGUIAN _____________________________________________________________________ Where did you get the idea for Ariane’s Thread? I wanted to make a film just for the pleasure of making it, in a completely free style, like a theatrical “impromptu” or improvisation - a little, fast-paced poetic piece, that would be exhilarating and pure fun. I also had a strong desire to let go, to simply perform for the sake of it. The screenplay needed to be a “performance vessel” for the actors, the technicians and of course, for myself. With the exception of Le Promeneur du Champ-de-Mars [The Last Mitterand], in which she wasn’t cast, you have written 16 films for Ariane Ascaride.

Sinds een familiedrama twintig jaar geleden is Angèle niet meer naar het dorp terug geweest. Nu vader Maurice een beroerte heeft gehad, komen verleden en heden samen voor de broers en hun zus. Joseph is inmiddels met pensioen en heeft verbitterd zijn idealen opgegeven, terwijl Armand probeert het plaatselijke restaurant draaiende te houden. Angèle is een gevierde actrice. Ze lijken allen te berusten in een teleurstellend leven waar geen plaats meer is voor het dorpsgevoel van vroeger. Terwijl Maurice vegeteert, worden ze geconfronteerd met het feit dat wat vroeger was, wordt ingehaald door dat wat nu is. Schoorvoetend geven ze toe aan nieuwe impulsen. LA VILLA won de SIGNIS en UNIMED prijzen op het festival van Venetië waar de film tevens genomineerd werd voor de Gouden Leeuw. De film is geregisseerd door Robert Guédiguian die eerder LES NEIGES DU KILIMANDJARO maakte. Met o.a. Ariane Ascaride (LE CIEL ATTENDRA) en Jean-Pierre Darroussin (LE HAVRE).

Armenian poet Missak Manouchian (a stand-out performance by Simon Abkarian) and his French wife Mélinée (Virginie Ledoyen) lead a ragtag assortment of volunteers against the German occupiers and their French allies. Varying in their actual homelands and in their reasons for joining the struggle, the one thing that unites them is the understanding that the Nazis oppression will only increase unless it is squarely confronted. To that end, they hatch a plot to assassinate a general, and show that resistance is indeed possible, but their activity attracts the attention of the German high command, which decides to teach the French population a different kind of lesson.

But despite the joy, the young To paraphrase Marx, wherever neo-capitalism reigns, it has crushed fraternal, friendly and parents have fallen on tough times. As they try to make ends meet, they reconnect with supportive relations and left no other link between people than cold interest and hard cash... Gloria’s ex-convict grandfather. It has drowned all our dreams in the icy waters of selfish calculation. That is what this dark social tale aims to show through the story of a reconstituted family as fragile as a house of cards... I have always thought that cinema should move us, sometimes by presenting us with an example of the world as it could be, at others by showing us the world as it is... In short, we need both comedies and tragedies to continue to question our lifestyles... And we must continue to question ourselves more than ever in these troubled times so that we do not succumb to the illusion that there is something natural about the societies we live in. Robert Guédiguian ROBERT GUÉDIGUIAN Robert GUÉDIGUIAN was born in Marseille in December 1953. From Last Summer (1980) to Gloria Mundi (2019), Robert Guédiguian has built up a very powerful and coherent body of work.

She left two little ones, So small, so frail—William and Madeline; The one just lisps, the other scarcely runs.” The man looked grave, and in the corner cast His old fur bonnet, wet with rain and sea, Muttered awhile, and scratched his head,—at last “We have five children, this makes seven,” said he. “Already in bad weather we must sleep Sometimes without our supper. Now! Ah, well— ‘Tis not my fault. These accidents are deep; It was the good God’s will. I cannot tell (…) Go fetch them, wife; they will be frightened sore, If with the dead alone they waken thus. That was the mother knocking at our door, And we must take the children home to us. “Brother and sister shall they be to ours, And they will learn to climb my knee at even; When He shall see these strangers in our bowers, More fish, more food, will give the God of Heaven.
