MICHEL TREGANImagine the following hypothesis. On one hand, we are told life is a construction of choiceand chance. On the other hand, we all remember a fragment of film that intimately touchedas children. It is precisely a choice (that of entering the cinema) and chance (that of comingacross such and such a film rather than another) that have provided us with those momentsthat will remain with us for the rest of our existence. Images as emotion rather thanentertainment.Our role as programmers is to spark off this choice and organise this accident to presentsomething to see, feel and think about to the youngest amongst us. To awaken their gazeto a cinema that plays with frontiers and to bring to life a multitude of cultures andexpressions. It is this desire that has given rise to the approach of Fotokino that has createdexhibitions, projections, workshops and meetings in the field of visual arts for more than sixyears now.It is also thanks to the use of a screen that the International Documentary Film Festival ofMarseille has invited us to program for the second year running. The programme is aimedat everybody and is accessible to everybody over six years old, without obstacles tounderstanding (especially language). These screenings reunite adults and children in thedesire to discover and understand reality (but they are not only defined by this particularity).It is above all about showing, through various film languages, sensitive works whoseimagination and concept speak to all of us. Rare or totally new films from all over the wholeworld.It is an opportunity to direct the gaze of children onto the world (Jeunes lumières, Le Painet la rue, En rachâchant), to question the relationship between people and their environment( Sönemböör, La Cabale des oursins), and to go in search of the other and his daily life (Baka,Homem da meia noite). Or, as with Le Goût des olives, to combine the intimate withchildhood rumours. Also, this year we are offering La route avec elles to grownups, a filmfor the transmission of a memory, that of the Camps, but also of a certain politicalconsciousness.The Paths: because it is about choosing a path, and we will see where it leads us.Nathalie Guimard and Vincent Tuset-AnrèsArtistic directors of Fotokino.Every year Fotokino offers Magic Lantern sessions.192
