College students make their cinema

On Thursday June 18, at 7 p.m., at the Liberty cinema there will be a screening of the short film by the students of the Cinema Artistic Practice workshop at the Kleber-Thoueilles college in Monsempron-Libos.

This short film, entitled “Romeo and Juliette (or almost!)” is the result of work carried out throughout the year by Aurélie Muriel, professor at the college, accompanied by film instructor Marion Amiet. “In 1326, in a small village in the south of the kingdom of France, called Monsempron-Libos, Princess Héloïse and Prince Enguérand love each other, but their families hate each other…”.

As part of this workshop, students learned the basics of making a film, from writing the script to filming, including technical cutting and editing. During this filming, the students also played apprentice technicians. Not only did they play the roles of the characters but they also filmed it themselves, took the sound on a boom or did the lighting effects.

For some students, this experience had the effect of a revelation since it sparked vocations and led to an orientation project. The cinema workshop at Kleber-Thoueilles college is open to all willing students from 6th to 3rd grade. It takes place on certain Thursdays throughout the year, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and registrations are already open for the next school year. The workshop can then continue at the Fumel high school.

Students from the neighboring school campus will also present their own short films during this evening of June 18.
