EDMICHEL CHRISTINE TREGANALBANELMINISTER OF CULTURE AND COMMUNICATION, GOVERNMENT SPOKESPERSONEDITORIALSFrom 4 to 9 July 2007 the International Documentary Film Festival of Marseille is turningthe Criée Theatre into a meeting place for professionals, film buffs and the curious. Thefestival offers a rich and varied programme to a wide audience of a genre that was for along time little-known but for which today there is new interest.Now in its 18th year, the festival is opening its competition to fiction films for the firsttime, proving how much the documentary genre inspires and stimulates all cinematiccreation.Be sure not to miss the retrospective of the work of the great Portuguese director PedroCosta who has been given carte blanche by the festival for a programme in partnershipwith Les Cahiers du Cinéma... Other points of excellence in a remarkable programmeinclude the selection “Filmer, dit-elle” (Film, she said) which explores female documentaries,the series “Les Sentiers” (The Paths) which seeks to return to childhood vision, but also,of course, the roundtables, the master classes and meetings about this essential genrewhich scrutinises, questions, shake ups and illuminates shadowy areas of our world.I would like to pay tribute to all the directors, artists and technicians whose works reallytake the pulse of our society. Thank you to the International Documentary Film Festival ofMarseille for bringing them to light every year. I wish the team every success for this 18thfestival and I wish all the spectators a very interesting time exploring this fascinating genre.012
