Activism and cinema – what responsibility does the seventh art hold?
As part of the ciné-citoyen festival, cut! invites you to its june conference, open to all: activism and cinema – what responsibility does the seventh art hold? A moment of exchange to explore cinema’s role in contemporary struggles, its power to influence, as well as the limits of its involvement.
As humanity faces an ecological peril more threatening than ever, we, professionals of the film industry, are taking responsibility and launching CUT! — a collective aimed at highlighting, supporting, and uniting all cinematic initiatives that help preserve a livable world for everyone. This is our manifesto.
Our events
Every month, we host a gathering with inspiring guests—researchers, artists, and influential figures. Each conference is then made available as a replay and podcast.
Our latest replay
Between fear of exposure and the desire to act, how can we reinvent the commitment of those involved?
In a tense world, speaking out publicly, saying what we think, what we feel, what we stand for, can become risky for an artist.
Between exploitation, social media, the fear of speaking out or being “labeled”: is speech still truly free?
With Céline Sallette, Jérémie Renier, and political science researcher Bleuwenn Lechaux, this roundtable offers an open discussion on doubts, impulses, obstacles, and possible new forms of artistic engagement today.
Conversation moderated by Cyril Dion.
