I - TESTIMONIALS
Morning Lefait led by Philippe, a journalist for France 2
Unable to hear from everyone, the choice of individuals and associations present was not dictated by the will highlight a more than another, but rather by the desire to represent the action in its cultural diversity, both geographically and in terms of fields of action. In order to present many accounts, they were brief, and incisive. A director was present at each discussion.
Cinema prison of Justice and of Health, has signed two protocols for culture, including movies, can go into hospitals and prisons. Today, besides the fact that financial resources are insufficient, these programs remain confined to the idea of social action that reduces the meaning of what is produced and is available in terms of image, since it is on film Above all it is. It is essential that the Ministry of Culture reaffirms the value of a cultural action film in its own right developed in these places by imaging professionals. Image Traveler

What would happen if "brave warriors" did not take the road to go towards public confined to the four corners of the world? The basis of any democracy is to ensure that the conditions access to culture, as well as rights to health and education are equal for all. The mesh of associative cultural action suffers from inadequate resources, where they should be strengthened, so that every child and every adult can, by right, have a positive image of education and fully enjoy the same rights.

Seassau, the League of Education; Jean-Pierre Thorn, director.
Since Andre Malraux, who championed its values, popular education, while experiencing more or less difficult times, remains a major challenge of our Republic. Europe has always envied France her bold programs, able to offer a diverse culture and accessible to all, including the poorest. The structures that have marked the history of popular culture are weakened by the decline in lending, multimedia projects abandoned by the Ministry of Culture and the new incoming associations suffer from an already impoverished. What fate then this priority of our civic life? Hall and festivals
Distribution is committed
Philippe Etienne, Director, Executive Gindou Festival (Midi-Pyrenees);
Nicolas Mey, head of the cinema Salamander Morlaix (Brittany);
Gilles Porte, director. From north to south of France, without the diffusion through the halls and most diverse festivals, film diversity could not exist. Without the work of professionals committed and passionate about what they show, for the variety of looks and themes proposed, we will find ourselves without food for our imagination, entrusted to a very poor standard and complied with the rules the box office, already so overwhelming. Ensure the survival of these structures must be part of the primary concerns of our guardianship!

The theater as every industry sector "research and development, embodied in particular through the die of the short film, which forms writers, directors, producers, technicians, artists - who will be tomorrow's cinema. Our industry also produces films that are not immediately "profitable", first films, experimental films, documentaries ... Yet these films are distributed and face an audience, through the extensive network of festivals, art house cinemas, theaters associations, which are in France a single mesh in the world. How the creators themselves do they see this vast and diverse network of cultural action? What is the role of the network of cultural action in discovering and promoting new talent, then recognized by the market itself? How to continue this research in a context of growing insecurity and fragility of these networks? Might we not threaten the renewal and vitality of our creation by weakening the broadcast?

France, for a cultural policy proactive built step by step, year after year, a regional cultural development unique. Cinemas, but also festivals, film clubs, MJC, media, schools, high schools, prisons, hospitals ... and many other places still allow each citizen to have access to culture and cinemas. These distribution networks, highly diversified, highly protean, are now in danger and greatly weakened. In this context, what future for the democratization of culture, however, advocated by the President of the Republic? What access to works for the public tomorrow? What roles should take the different territorial levels, states and local authorities, in support to field? How to restore confidence?
