A trip to the heart of the world for the price of a cinema ticket

Altaïr conferences took over from Connaissances du monde to offer film conferences at the CGR cinema in Moulins.
These meetings will take place in the presence of the directors of each film, each time shot in Europe or on the other side of the world. “The formula is different from what Connaissance du monde did,” explains Philippe Dumesnildot, local correspondent, with his wife Marie-Claire, of Altaïr Conferences.

Altaïr Conferences, which has existed for five years and organizes nearly a thousand performances per year in numerous structures (cinemas, media libraries, associations, theaters, penitentiary establishments, schools, senior residences, etc.), specifies that these travelers are either authors experienced independents or young talents.
Beyond the films, which are not formatted for TV, discussions on the trip are offered, during a debate which allows us to break down certain preconceived ideas and to discuss.
