I take you this week to the cinema, but not any. The cinema of Green Venice financed by the sale of traditional white beans, amazing, no?
We belong to Saint-Hilaire-la-Palud, at the heart of the wild Swamp. Formerly, a village dedicated to the agriculture and to the small business sector and today turned to the tourism.
Let us return to the mode of financing of this cinema...
The traditional white bean being the key culture of the swamp, the inhabitants thus proposed that the sale of this " white gold " would be of use to the opening of a new cinema. It took a few years and it is in 1958 when the new room was born … Today, this room still continues and is endowed with a state-of-the-art digital equipment …
Paludéens and inhabitants of the municipalities in the surroundings are proud and attached to their cinema which also proposes them shows as recently the first one of the Comédie Française.
The functioning in the year rests on the association "Le Réveil du Marais" (Reachable president Didier Courjault in 05.49.35.40.05.). The members take their tour of guard to become a projectionist or a cashier. Small message moreover for those who would be interested to join them: no need for particular capacity if it is not of the time to dedicate them …
Concerning current events, we are in full festival of the Cinema and Young audience …, discover the program!
There is not only in Cannes where we make the festival, but also on the territory of the Conurbation of Niortais, for Saint-Hilaire-la-Palud…
