[Press Release] - Published on March 27, 2025 in the 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 8:00 p.m., the selected films will be screened at the CGR-Le Colisée movie theater in Carcassonne during an evening event hosted by the students and staff who participated in the workshop.

A "Short Film Programming" Workshop

From November 2024 to March 20254, 15 students and staff members from the Faculty of Education—Carcassonne campus—participated in a workshop on programming short films on the theme of cultural diversity. Each month, Jacob Redman from the film education association KOVisuel provided them with a shortlist of short films. The participants analyzed, discussed, and defended their favorite films, 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? Whether with humor, seriousness, or poetry, the short films presented here aim to change our perceptions and inspire us to take action. From fiction to documentaries to animated films, these eclectic works highlight issues, propose solutions, or encourage reflection.

Just as in 2023 and 2024 with “C’est quoi ton genre?” and “D’où je viens, où je vais,” the CGR-Le Colisée movie theater is once again hosting this project organized by the University of Montpellier’s Art & Culture Department. This event on April 8, 2025—open to everyone at a flat rate of 5€—will be hosted by the students and staff who participated in the workshop throughout the year. They will present their selections and lead a discussion following the screening.
