Three questions for Marianne Bressy, programmer of the Images de Justice festival.
Last year you celebrated the 20th anniversary of the festival, what does this new edition look like without competition?
The students from the social professions of the IUT made me want to make this edition. They decided on the first day, with a film for schools, and two public screenings. The themes will be the issue of immigration, violence against minors and religious radicalization, handled from their perspective. I felt young people worried about the political, ecological and sociological future, this made me want to respond with cinema.
What reason?
The second day will focus on activist values. There will be a meeting with Pierre Douillard-Lefèvre, author dissolution, a history of dissolution procedures similar to that of the failed Earth Rebellion. And the movie Relax by Audrey Ginestet, around the women who help Manon, who is indicted in the Tarnac affair, to prepare her defense. With questions about freedom of speech, rejection of the capitalist world and the collective as an act of resistance.
Did you want a more fun final day?
With a mock trial of the legal profession and questions: How do you present yourself as a lawyer in a trial that is more political than legal? A lawyer is mandatory, but is it necessary? Is he a hero who upholds republican values and defends fundamental freedoms? Or is he a barker who defends the unsuspecting?
Maître Descamps-Guézou, a lawyer at the Rennes bar, will represent the prosecution and Sarah Mayo, the students’ lawyer, will represent the defence. The President, Maître Catherine Glon, will decide the debates. It is a literary and wonderful way to raise these questions. Beforehand, we will broadcast the documentary Devil’s advocate by Olivier Meyrou, around lawyers Michel Fourniret and his partner Monique Olivier.
From May 14 to 16, 2024, in Rennes, the entire program on www.comptoirdudoc.org
