Presentation
The Bastia Mediterranean Film Festival is the oldest and most inexhaustible of Corsican festivals. Born in 1982 in the heart of Riacquistu, U festivale di u filmu di e culture mediterranie has forged links between a reaffirmed Corsican culture and neighboring Mediterranean cultures. In 2001, after a one-year hiatus, U festivale di u filmu di e culture mediterranie gave way to U festivale di u filmu e di l'arte mediterranie and assumed its vocation as a festival of mixed arts. Worn since by the Arte Mare association, it is known today as the Arte Mare festival. Every year, it presents a literary prize, the Prix Ulysse, awarded to a first novel and to a whole work. What a great adventure! Over thirty years of festival in Bastia, thirty-six years of loyalty to the cinemas of the Mediterranean. Cinematography poorly distributed and yet so creative. Heir to millennia of stories, stories, images. The feature film competition, an essential meeting place for cinema lovers, sees 7 new films confronting each other as reflections of the societies from which they draw their inspiration. This is the true heart of the festival, beating public enthusiasm and the hopes of filmmakers. Each year, the programmer Pierre De Gardebosc, in collaboration with the festival team, offers us a unique and quality program with preview films that will make the news of the coming year and that will contribute, by mention of the price on the posters, the name of the festival and the image of Corsica. The Corsican Film Competition In 2016, we gave Corsican filmmakers the opportunity to win the Arte Mare prize for the first time by inaugurating a competition section of Corsican film comprising medium-length films, short films and a feature film. Two prizes are awarded, one for fiction, the other for the documentary It’s the logical culmination of the work to highlight the island's production, which began at the outset of the festival. The film competition of Mediterranean film schools Inaugurated in 2017, it generated a lot of enthusiasm and the participation of about twenty schools. 7 films were selected and many young directors made the trip at their expense to present their films.
