Cinambule
On the trail of the scripts...

Initiated by the local council, Cinambule, the open-air exhibition in Plounéour-Brignogan-Plages, invites visitors on a cinematic journey through the village. Through 22 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 from July 2023 to June 2024.

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 fifteen 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 house in the rue de Naot Hir and the nautical center are the new venues for the seventh edition of the exhibition. Walkers will have the privilege of previewing an extract from the screenplay of Lucile Hadzihalilovic’s La Tour de Glace. The film won a prize at its world premiere in Berlin in February and will be released in cinemas in September 2025. They will also be able to discover a new visual extract from Anaïs Tellenne’s first feature film L’Homme d’Argile, a film that has won many prizes since its release in January 2024.
