Les Rencontres Ciné Montagne souhaitent proposer au public une programmation principalement constituée de films d’activités physiques de pleine nature en montagne, mettant en avant la diversité des pratiques et des pratiquant.es, racontant des aventures humaines, le tout dans le cadre d’une montagne non mécanisée et non aménagée. Seront privilégiés les films racontant des aventures humaines "by fair means", tant dans la manière de parcourir la montagne avec le minimum d’artifice, que dans la manière de l’atteindre (limitation de l’impact carbone), mais aussi des histoires en lien avec les problématiques contemporaines, qu’elles soient environnementales ou sociétales. Au-delà de la qualité de réalisation technique (son, image, musique, montage etc). Une attention particulière est portée aux films mettant en avant une narration originale et faisant preuve de créativité. ANGLAIS : « Les Rencontres Ciné Montagne » de Grenoble is the gathering for mountain films in the heart of the Alps. An unmissable event that constitutes the largest mountain cinema festival in Europe with 3,800 seats and over 20,000 spectators within 5 days of festival. Les Rencontres Ciné Montagne aim to offer the public a programming mainly composed by films featuring outdoor physical activities in the mountains, highlighting the diversity of practices and practitioners, and narrating human adventures, all within the context of a "wild" mountain, meaning non-mechanized and non-developed. Films that tell stories of human adventures "by fair means" will be prioritized, both in the way of traversing the mountain with the minimum of artifice and in the way of reaching it (limiting carbon impact), as well as stories related to contemporary issues, whether environmental or societal. Beyond the quality of technical production (sound, image, music, editing, etc.), particular attention is given to films that showcase original storytelling and demonstrate creativity.
