Making a film: Maquisards

Festival of Vocations

Master class

By Christian Philibert (director), and his young actors from Missions locales

To mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the director of Les Quatre saisons d’Espigoule and Massilia Sound System : le film is preparing a new feature film. Who will star? Young people aged 16 to 25 from local missions in the Var region. With him, they investigate in the field to reconstruct the day-to-day adventures of these young resistance fighters in the Var maquis…and embody them on screen. They don’t know much about history, they’ve never played a game in their lives: so what? That’s the whole point of this challenge!
