Campo Santo

Rue Amiral Ribeil

EVENING SHOWS

Monday, August 30 to Saturday, September 4. 9.45pm at Campo Santo.

The Visa pour l’Image evening shows will cover the main events of the past year, from September 2009 to August 2010. Every evening, from Monday to Saturday, the program will begin with a chronological review of these news stories, two months at a time. This is followed by reports and features on social issues, wars, stories that have made the news and others that have been kept quiet, plus coverage of the state of the world today. Visa pour l’Image also presents retrospectives on major events and figures in history. The Visa pour l’Image award ceremonies are held during the evening programs.

On Thursday, Friday and Saturday (September 2, 3 & 4), the evening shows at Campo Santo will be screened simultaneously on the place de la République for an even larger audience.

This year, if bad weather stops the show from being held at Campo Santo, there will be no alternative venue.

The program for 2010 covers the main stories across the continents: events and war, plus political, social and environmental developments and change. 2010 features a number of anniversary celebrations, with worldwide commemorations and events:

• Haiti: earthquake.
• The Korean War: 2010 marks the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War which, for three years, involved nations from different parts of the world with large-scale fighting on land and in the air, plus UN intervention, allegations of bacteriological weapons and napalm, and many prisoners who went missing.
• Claude Lévi-Strauss (1908-2009): a tribute to the famous French anthropologist/ethnologist.
• South Africa: 20 years after Nelson Mandela’s release from prison. The historic leader of the apartheid movement who spent 27 years in prison was released in 1990, then went on to become President of the Republic of South Africa in 1994, serving until 1999. A view of the country and the life of the man who won the Nobel Peace Prize, his struggle and work with the African National Congress and his policy of national reconciliation.
• Pop from 1960 to 1980: Pop is both cult and culture, a massive phenomenon covering music, painting, graphic design, fashion and more, offering a different way of seeing and shaping the world.
