    ÉDITO LE FESTIVAL DE TOUS LES CINÉMAS our sa 47e édition, le festival évolue tout en étant fidèle à son identité visuelle très identifiée, grâce aux magnifiques affiches peintes depuis 1991 par Stanislas Bouvier, qui s’est inspiré cette année de Little Big Man. Le festival change de nom. En substituant « Cinéma » à « film », le PFestival La Rochelle Cinéma (FEMA) réaffirme sa singularité et va à l’essentiel. Au-delà du 7e art, le mot cinéma désigne aussi la salle de projection, que nous fréquentons assidûment et que nous nous devons de défendre et de réinventer pour qu’elle demeure le lieu de (re)découverte des films. L’actualité de ces derniers mois nous a prouvé qu’il existe un besoin de se ras- sembler, d’échanger. Quoi de mieux qu’un festival pour se rencontrer ? Quoi de mieux que le cinéma pour déchiffrer l’état du monde ? Les films comme de multiples points de vue sur notre humanité. À commencer par notre film d’ouverture, It Must Be Heaven, dont le titre, quand nous connais- sons l’univers d’Elia Suleiman, paraît bien ironique. Il s’y met en scène avec son dito regard étonné et souvent amusé, dans un monde dévoré par la violence. La force É de son cinéma tient à la composition de ces plans séquences, qui font d’un détail —— tout un symbole. Quand il pose sa caméra place des Victoires à Paris, en direction de la Banque de France devant laquelle défilent lentement des chars de combat, tout est dit. Cette violence, Arthur Penn la dénonçait déjà en 1967 notamment dans Bonnie and Clyde avec la célèbre réplique « we rob banks » (nous dévalisons des banques) et le massacre final filmé au ralenti.
