[Press release] - Published on March 27, 2025 in Press Room

Throughout the 2024/2025 academic year, students and staff at the Carcassonne campus of the Faculty of Education watched, discussed, and selected nine short films that explore environmental challenges as part of a workshop led by the KOVisuel association. On Tuesday, April 8, 2025, at 8 p.m., the selected films will be screened at the CGR-Le Colisée cinema in Carcassonne during an evening hosted by the students and staff who participated in the workshop.

A workshop on "Programming short films"

From November 2024 to March 20254, 15 students and staff from the Faculty of Education in Carcassonne took part in a workshop to plan short films on the theme of cultural diversity. Each month, Jacob Redman from the film education association KOVisuel provided them with a pre-selection of short films. The participants analyzed, discussed, and defended their favorites, listened to each other's arguments, and reached a consensus to propose a rich and varied final selection to present to the general public.

A theme: environmental challenges

How can we tackle environmental challenges? With humor, seriousness, or poetry, the short films presented aim to change our perceptions and encourage us to take action. Fiction, documentaries, animated films... these eclectic films make observations, propose solutions, or invite reflection.

A screening at the CGR-Le Colisée cinema

As in 2023 and 2024 with "C'est quoi ton genre ?" (What's your type?) and "D'où je viens, où je vais" (Where I come from, where I'm going), the CGR-Le Colisée cinema is once again hosting this project led by the art and culture department of the University of Montpellier. This evening event on April 8, 2025, open to all at a single price of €5, will be hosted by the students and staff who participated in the workshop throughout the year. They will present their choices and lead a discussion after the screening.
