This year's theme is clear and assertive: exploring the intimate links between cinema and democracy, questioning the role of images in our societies, giving a voice to citizens and artists alike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both in the valley and on the heights of Arc 1800, ideas are exchanged, listened to and confronted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Saturday 13 December, the festival opens the debate with a major meeting entitled \u00abCinema and Democracy: At Les Arcs, Citizens!\u00bb, featuring historian Marc Lazar and journalist L\u00e9na Mauger, with the results of a survey of 300 high school students from the Bourg-Saint-Maurice school complex. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The critical spirit of the younger generation takes centre stage, giving this edition a deeply civic flavour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An emblematic political film <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Monday 15 December, another highlight awaits the public: the screening of Z by Costa-Gavras, an emblematic film of European political cinema. It will be followed by a film-debate in the presence of Cyril Dion, director and activist, and Marc Lazar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taking place in cinemas, media libraries and schools, the day will be marked by a series of special discussions on commitment, representation and the role of art in understanding our democracies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The week closes with another highlight, on Thursday 18 December, with a film-debate on the theme of <em>Orwell: 2+2=5<\/em> by Raoul Peck. More than 300 secondary school students are expected to attend, proof that the festival continues to be deeply rooted in the transmission and education of the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With its fresh snow, early-season atmosphere and cinemas heated by a passion for cinema, Les Arcs Film Festival is more than ever one of the winter's leading cultural events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From December 13th to 20th, the Savoyard resort is hosting the 17th edition of the Les Arcs Film Festival, a time when European cinema reveals itself in all its diversity, just before the hustle and bustle of the end-of-year holidays.
