This initiative from the Dreux media library, from Thursday November 7 to Thursday November 28, will offer several documentaries combining creativity and social facts.
The Odyssée media library, in Dreux, is relaying from November 7 to 28 a major cultural operation (“Le mois du doc”) proposed by the National Coordination Images in libraries. The ambition is to “promote creative documentaries by organizing screenings in November to a wide audience”, specify the organizers.

A meeting of the image, an excuse to “take another look at the world” and to open the debate, the new edition has the theme “small planet”. At the Odyssey, we promise “nuggets”, specifies Valérie Egreteau, responsible for the music, cinema and video game sectors. All screenings are freely accessible.
The first meeting (Allô la France), Thursday November 7, is a doc on the last telephone booths still in service. The second documentary (Twenty Gods! Where is my life going?), on Friday November 15, is the evocation of the end of life through the vision of the Drouais director, Francis Lapeyre. Several scenes were filmed in a Drouais nursing home.

Debates will follow the screenings
La Ferme des Bertrand will follow on Saturday November 23, about a dynasty of farmers revealing the evolution of the agricultural world. The collection will end on Thursday, November 28 with The (Very) Great Escape around the frantic race of capitalism across the world.
Each screening will be followed by a debate with the authors of the documentaries.
