“When will I see you again, wonderful country”… French cinema is back on the slopes with the 16th edition of the Les Arcs Film Festival. From December 14 to 21, numerous screenings, previews, meetings and festivities of all kinds will take place, in the presence of several celebrities from the 7th art.
This Wednesday, December 18, for the fifth day of the Festival, the members of the jury met at the top of the Aiguille Rouge for the traditional photo session. The author Delphine de Vigan, the actor Pio Marmaï, the director Peter Kerekes, the filmmaker Céline Sallette, the composer Herdís Stefánsdóttir and the singer Sofiane Zermani, together form the feature film jury. Together, they posed on the snow, bundled up in their ski jackets.

A guest of honor at the hospital
In addition to the members of the jury, several personalities were invited to join the Festival to enjoy the hundred screenings, outdoor activities (toboggan racing, zip line, skiing, etc.) but also the culinary specialties of the region. Matteo Garrone (director of Dogman and Gomorrah) arrived with actress Karin Viard.
The latter unfortunately did not benefit as much as she hoped. After a painful fall while skiing, she was immediately transferred to hospital. The latter explained the situation on her social networks, taking the events with humor. Fortunately, the head trauma suffered by the actress did not prevent her from returning to the Festival once on her feet.
