The word

of the Mayor of Vebron

2021

The Covid 2019 health crisis has forced the organisers of the Vébron International Film Festival to take a long break of over 18 months. Indeed, passionate about the cinematographic art they defend, they wanted to offer a meeting to the public last March in the form of a "digital version" of the Festival and thus have a Palmarès for a 33rd edition.

It is therefore quite natural that this summer, they propose a 34th edition with an audacious programme as they have known how to do for decades.

The municipality of Vébron and the Communauté de Communes Gorges Causses Cévennes have always chosen to strongly support this event which is a showcase for the region.

This event is a showcase for the region and its spin-offs are important, in economic terms, in terms of images and in terms of choice for directors to come and shoot images there one day.

The South Lozère region has demonstrated on numerous occasions that it is a great place for film and television shoots. The programme of this new edition of the Festival demonstrates this once again.

A big thank you to the members of "L'Écran Cévenol" who will once again make us dream by offering us magnificent films, and above all a big thank you for their attachment to this land of Vébron and to the many efforts they make to organise such an event, especially in these troubled times.

We wish you all a good festival.
