2010 : Dolly in...

The twelfth edition of the international festival of documentary films related to rurality will be held in Ville-sur-Yron from 24 till 30 May 2030. It is organised by the village Council and the Rural Home of Ville-sur-Yron, in cooperation with the Lorraine Regional Natural Park.
The festival is supported by the Lorraine Regional Council, the Meurthe-et-Moselle General Council, the Lorraine Regional Direction for Cultural Affairs, the Community of Communes of Jarnisy and the municipality of Ville-sur-Yron.

For 11 years, "Caméras des champs" has been the means of showing the changes in the rural world. So, far from being a backward glance on the country, the aim of the 12^th festival remains the same :

• to arouse an exchange of ideas on the evolution of the landscapes, on the social practices of the countrypeople and neo-countrypeople, on the impact of technologies on the villages and their dwellings,
• to see how each individual's representations of the rural world change, whether he lives in a city or a village, whether he is an artist or a decision-maker.

This glance and these evolutins are not limited to the nearest horizons, to the landscapes and the regional ways of life, but extend much beyond the too often reducing clichés. On the contrary, the variety of the rural worlds should induce everyone to compare, to question, to change the scale of his own perceptions. only the film-image, because it is multivarious, allows this exchange, this singular vision, this mosaic composition of the rural spaces.

And the video, because it is a flexible and easily accessible support of creation, allows amateurs as well as professionals to grasp and reproduce a plural vision of the world.
A festival also brings the opportunity for various people to meet. The viewing of pictures relating to central theme (the rural world) leads to a rich reflexion by allowing the viewers as well as the creators to break with the routine of the continuous flow of TV pictures which are too often received passively.

By providing an organized frame for the competition and the opportunity for critical exchanges with the public after each viewing, the festival also brings an extra motivation to independant creators. For directors, the festival is also the means of having their film broadcast and aknowledged.

The festival finds its conclusion with the members of the jury awarding 3 prizes while the inhabitants de Ville-sur-Yron and the public award their own prize, as well as the students.
