Screening of "Les oubliés de la Belle Étoile" - Chemin des toiles

Synopsis: The La Belle Étoile reform school, run by Father Garin, was located in Savoie. Dédé, Michel, and Daniel spent time there as children in the 1950s and 1970s, where they were beaten, humiliated, starved, and broken. With the help of director Clémence Davigo, they finally come together to break the silence. A deeply moving epic on the path to remembrance and justice. Director: Clémence Davigo AndanaFilms - 2023 - 1 hr 46 min Chemin des toiles: Since 2015, through the Chemins des toiles festival, Savoie and Haute-Savoie Biblio has established itself as one of the major players in documentary filmmaking in Savoie and Haute-Savoie, notably by promoting, throughout the month of November, film screenings and meetings between a filmmaker and library audiences. In creative documentary film, viewers are invited to open themselves up to the unique journeys of men and women—from here or elsewhere— to share in their joys and struggles, their strengths and weaknesses, and to accompany them throughout the screening—and even far beyond—as they can leave a lasting impression on us. “Chemins des toiles” features a main selection of 7 films and a supplementary selection of 7 films. For this 11th edition, of the 73 scheduled screenings, 43 will take place in the presence of the director or a key contributor to the film (editor, technician, producer, lead actor, etc.), allowing for rich discussions and fascinating exchanges. The promise of wonderful discoveries!
