SILHOUETTE CINEMA ECO-FESTIVAL
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Our partner is the Silhouette association, which works for cinematographic education, and has organized this festival every year since 2002. Since the start, this festival has been gathering an always growing audience. The association was originally a student project that has since grown into a group that has created many open air festivals. Concordia has been partnered with Silhouette for the last five years, and has always been very happy to renew the collaboration each year!

💼 What the programme involves
Come take part in the Silhouette festival, the short film reference from the 19th arrondissement in Paris!
You are invited to take part in the Silhouette short film festival that is organized each year in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. The project also has the double ambition of being environmentally responsible and helping to promote environmentalism. During the first four days, from 10am to 7pm, you will be able to create your own short film with the help of a filming professional! During the rest of your stay, from 12am to 8pm you will take part in the festival itself, a great opportunity to be introduced to the world of filmmaking and cinematography. This means that you will have free time in the mornings, late evenings and the weekends are always free. As far as the environmental aspect of the project is concerned, you will be responsible for the creation and organization of an environmentally responsible stand at the festival, where you will offer a number of activities around the theme of the environment.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be housed in the Mije youth hostel, at the heart of the renowned Marais neighbourhood, from which you will access the festival through public transportation each day. Breakfast will be provided by the hostel, and you will cook lunch yourself at the festival, taking turns. The evening meal will be provided by a catering service, just like for all other workers at the festival. The Mije youth hostel has a Wifi connection (but not on the festival site), collective showers and toilets, unmixed dormitories but does not include laundry facilities, however it is possible to find some in the surroundings of the youth hostel.
📍 About the location
The festival will take place in the Butte du Château Rouge park in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. You will be able to employ your free time to all the touristic, cultural, and any other leisure attractions that one may find in the city of Paris.
