Cinambule
On the trail of the scripts...

Free Outdoor exhibition

Published

Initiated by the local council, Cinambule, the open-air exhibition in Plounéour-Brignogan-Plages, invites visitors on a cinematic journey through the village. Through 32 installations, the exhibition showcases films conceived during their creators’ time at Groupe Ouest. Along the way, one can read excerpts from screenplays or admire images from films. In each case, the landscape and installations interact, enhancing one another. The exhibition is freely accessible in Plouneour-Brignogan-Plages.

Driven by the idea of making screenwriting—a creative yet intangible and essential stage of filmmaking—more visible and accessible, the Plounéour-Brignogan-Plages council has undertaken a scenographic project right in the heart of the village. This initiative has been carried out in close collaboration with Le Groupe Ouest’s team, particularly with scenographer and photographer, Brigitte Bouillot.

For over twenty years, Le Groupe Ouest has become a European benchmark in screenplay development, supporting over a thousand authors, screenwriters, directors – local and national and international. This expertise has contributed to the creation of around a hundred films that have been released in cinemas in France and abroad, many of which have won awards at international festivals. All have drawn inspiration from the ‘Côte des Légendes’ for their creative process.

From the Plage des Chardons Bleus to the former shallot-packing factory repurposed by Groupe Ouest, screenplay excerpts and characters imagined in the Côte des Légendes invite visitors to explore the art of storytelling. Here and there, on a street corner, among the rocks, in the town center, the exhibition offers a poetic rather than purely informative experience, encouraging each visitor to follow their own path, to create their own story, immersed in the excerpts and images of imagined characters. At La Gare, a dedicated site, visitors can read a page from the screenplay of each exhibited film.

This year, a low wall facing the Hôtel de la Mer and a house in Kéréval are the new display sites for the eighth edition of the exhibition. Visitors will have the privilege of discovering an excerpt from the screenplay of Nino by Pauline Loquès. In 2026, the film received, among many awards, the César for Best First Feature Film and the César for Best Male Revelation for Théodore Pellerin, the film’s lead actor. Bérangère McNeese’s sumptuous debut feature, Les Filles du Ciel, is also joining the exhibition.

The first idea that came to me when the Town Hall asked us to help them express in an exhibition what's happening at Groupe Ouest, was a phrase I'd read a long time ago by Ernest Pignon Ernest, who referred to his work as “La peau des murs” (the skin of walls): silhouettes, drawn in charcoal and reproduced in silkscreens, that he places in public spaces around the world. I wanted to evoke the almost ghostly feel of an advertising poster, to evoke the universe of the films written here in Côte des Légendes.
