The Porquerolles Film Festival: cinema and ecology
Official photographer of the Porquerolles Film Festival since its creation in 2020, Laurent Parienti follows this festival devoted to committed cinema and ecology every year. It takes place on the island of Porquerolles and the Giens peninsula in Hyères, with documentaries and fiction films about the environment.
A festival for the planet
The Porquerolles Film Festival, Film for the Planet, was born on 27 August 2020 on the island of Porquerolles, in the presence of its founder Vincent Doerr, Juliette Binoche, president of the jury, and Charles Carmignac, director of the foundation. Its aim is to raise public awareness of climate issues through cinema. With Gérard Jugnot as patron, and supported by the French Ministry of Culture, france.tv and the Ministry of Education, it has welcomed Juliette Binoche, Charles Berling, Jean-Marc Barr, Vahina Giocante, Élodie Bouchez, Pascal Demolon, Élie Semoun, Bruno Solo, Aïssa Maïga and many committed filmmakers to its red carpet.
Photographing this festival means capturing the emotion of open-air screenings, the intimacy of encounters between filmmakers and audiences, and the atmosphere of places such as Le Provençal in Giens or the Fondation Carmignac on the island.
The reportage
Laurent Parienti covers the whole event:
- open-air screenings on the island;
- portraits of guests, directors and the jury;
- debates and audience Q&As;
- the awards ceremony;
- the Écotubeurs prize, which rewards young filmmakers.
Each edition is an adventure between land and sea, cinema and protected nature. The images capture the soul of the festival: cinema meeting environmental commitment, in the unique setting of Porquerolles.
