In the face of the climate emergency, let's wage the battle of storytelling!
Meeting with Cyril Dion
Both a man of culture and an environmental activist, Cyril Dion is a poet, collection director at Actes Sud, film director, writer and co-creator of the Newtopia production company.
The general public discovered him alongside Mélanie Laurent in Demain, the feature film he co-wrote and co-directed with the actress, and which offers a delightful world tour of citizen-based, solidarity-based and effective solutions to the major crises facing our societies today. César for Best Documentary in 2016, it was applauded by over a million viewers in France.
In 2018 he directed Après Demain with Laure Nouhalat for France 2, which analyzes the impact of the film Demain on society and sets out to meet the initiatives that grew out of it. The same year, he published Petit Manuel de Résistance Contemporaine, which explores how narratives shape our societies and strategies for coping with climate change and the collapse of biodiversity. In December 2021, he co-wrote and directed a new film Animal that deals with our relationship with the rest of living things and the collapse of biodiversity. The film is an official selection at the Cannes Film Festival and wins eight awards at international festivals.
Meeting followed by book signing in the Forum room, in collaboration with the Mucem bookshop.
