July 4-9, 2016, Nantes & Le Pellerin, France

Mire invites you dive into the international waters of the effervescent world of analogue film, which is more alive than ever. It’s as much a summer camp as a summer school and this event brings together almost 50 labs, coming from 5 continents, for a week of exchange and discussions about the state of the art of film.

And as we like sharing, the Bains Argentiques will be open to the public each evening of the week and the weekend. With 7 exceptional screenings curated by international programmers from the network, an evening of project presentations and an open barbecue, a « Bac à sable » (sandbox) afternoon with public workshops. With two evenings of performances and concerts on the banks of the Loire river in collaboration with Cable#, and a party.

An intense eclectic program, to be explored with a snorkel or savoured with your toes in the water…
