FILM PREMIERE: 🍇💃FESTA MAJOR (2024) by Jean-Baptiste Alazard

📝Synopsis: Every year at the end of summer, for at least one hundred and twenty years, a small village in the Pyrenees has held its festival. Five days of intoxication and happiness, of rituals and spontaneous inventions, in a collective letting go that binds the community together.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Critique: "FESTA MAJOR, a festival-film, praises the cycle, the return: an ancient topos to which the worsening storm of progress, the accelerating pace of destruction of forms of life and the piling up of ruins give an ever more political, paradoxically revolutionary meaning. Between a medieval Occitan gesture (troubadour prosody, stained-glass lights and colours) and a lovingly parodic reworking of Guy Debord (his melancholy eulogy of friendship), FESTA MAJOR celebrates the marriage of cinema and life. In all its glory". Cyril Neyrat, FIDMarseille
