Cinambule
On the trail of the scripts...

Free Outdoor exhibition

Published

Cine-wandering, the outdoor exhibition in Plouneour-Brignogan initiated by the Town Hall, invites walkers from all backgrounds to embark on a cinematic journey through texts and visuals taken from films conceived during the authors’ stay at Le Groupe Ouest. The exhibition, which currently features around twenty installations, is free and open to everyone in the municipality of Plouneour-Brignogan-Plages from July 2023 to June 2024.

Swimming at ‘Petit Nice’ Beach acccompanied by the heroines of Sisterhood, extending a contemplative break on a bench at ‘Beg ar Groaz’ adorned with an excerpt from the screenplay of Temps Mort, or borrowing a book in front of the portrait of Sylvie, a character from Rien à Perdre played by Virginie Effira… In Plouneour-Brignogan-Plages, fiction accompanies everyday life.

For the fifth year, Cinambule strengthens the bridge between the imaginary worlds created by European filmmakers who came to Le Groupe Ouest to receive support during the writing of their films, and the places in the municipality where these worlds have blossomed.

With the aim of making screenwriting accessible and visible, an intangible yet essential creative step in filmmaking, the Municipality of Plouneour-Brignogan-Plages embraced the subject and implemented scenographic work at the heart of its community. This work was carried out in close proximity and collaboration with Le Groupe Ouest’s team, particularly with scenographer and photographer Brigitte Bouillot.

For over fifteen years, Le Groupe Ouest has become emblematic at a European level, developing its expertise with over a thousand authors, screenwriters, directors, both local and national, as well as international. It has contributed to the creation of around a hundred films released in cinemas in France and abroad, many of which have received awards at international festivals. All of them were able to draw inspiration from the ‘Côte des Légendes’ for their creative process.

From the beach of ‘Chardons Bleus’ to the former shallot packaging factory where Le Groupe Ouest is settled, screenplays excerpts and characters imagined on the ‘Côte des Légendes’ invite the curious to delve into the art of storytelling. Here and there, at the corner of a street, amidst the rocks, in the town center, like an invitation to poetic wandering, more evocative than informative, allowing everyone to choose their own path, to create their own story, immersed in the excerpts of screenplays and images of invented characters. At a place called ‘La Gare’, a page from the screenplay of each exhibited film can be read.
