Your next cinema dates in Villars : - Tuesday 1 October 2024 at 7.30pm "‘The Ninth, an exceptional destiny" By Pierre-Henry Salfati - France - 2004 - Documentary - in French OV - 52 minutes In the presence of a musician from Villars-Chesières ‘May this kiss of the world embrace you, multitudes! It was to Schiller's famous poem, Ode to Joy, that Beethoven composed the last movement of his Ninth Symphony. A hope of brotherhood in the hearts of men ... In reality, however, the Ninth has been the subject of a series of appropriations that are, to say the least, surprising. How did this musical work manage to win over humanists and tyrants alike? ‘The Ninth, an exceptional destiny’ traces the story of the successive manipulations of this protean work. Fascinating and unexpected. Instructive and thought-provoking. - Tuesday 15 October 2024 at 7.30pm "The Dance of the Peaks (Bergfahrt)" By Dominique Margot - Switzerland - 2024 - Documentary - in OV (German/Swiss German/French/Italian/Japanese with German and French subtitles) - 94 minutes FIFAD 2024 - In the presence of the director (to be confirmed) Our Alps reflect the changes in our civilisation. Glaciers are melting, peaks are crumbling. After years of mass tourism and exploitation, we are witnessing a paradigm shift with regard to the Alps. This is due as much to ecological and economic necessities as to the aspiration to preserve an intact and wild nature and a more harmonious society. In her new documentary, Dominique Margot profiles a number of scientists, artists and mountaineers who are taking a fresh approach to the mountains. Through these projects, the Alps become an inspiring creative terrain. A fascinating journey of discovery of these mythical giants with their great power of attraction. - Tuesday 29 October 2024 at 7.30pm "Les Dames" By Stéphanie Chuat & Véronique Reymond - Switzerland - 2018 - Documentary - in OV (French, with German and English subtitles) 81 minutes.

They are single, widowed or divorced, they have had children, husbands, a job, they have a life behind them but above all a life to come... ‘Les Dames’ is five portraits, five life stories. Yes, anything is possible (again). A wonderful message of hope. A vision of reality that is moving, tender, surprising, funny... Some ideas ... We love ... - Tuesday 5 November 2024 at 7.30pm "Welcome to Base-Court!" November is traditionally the month of SHORT, but not only ...
