Friday, September 16, 2011, at 8:00 PM at the Cultural Center of La Providence, 8 bis rue Saint Augustin – Old Nice
The association Regard Indépendant is delighted to accept the invitation of La Semeuse for a new program of short films in the beautiful space of La Providence.
Outdoors if the weather allows, under the arches if not.
Three sequences interspersed with breaks for a drink will be offered.
A section focused on regional creation with new films from our friends Jérôme Panaget and Philippe Frey, as a preview of the Meetings that will be held from November 17 to 20.
A very varied selection of “shot-edit” super 8 short films from our English friends at Straight 8 (digital projection).
And finally, straight from the Annecy festival, two little gems of Nordic animation, more suitable for adults and fantasy enthusiasts.
