    Death of the actress Andrée Damant, lover of Lozère and Vébron

     

    Andrée DAMANT > 1929 - 2022The actress with a very popular face had notably played in "Scènes de ménages" on M6 where she interpreted the role of Tata Odette, or in "Plus belle la vie" on France 3, in the role of Julienne Vidal, an elderly person that Benoit Cassagne looked after. She had worked with some of the greatest names in cinema, such as Jean-Pierre Jeunet in "Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain". She was also a theatre actress and had performed in 11 plays. A southern figure par excellence with a lovely, pronounced southern accent, she starred with Yves Robert in "La Gloire de mon père". For television she appeared in about fifty TV films and series, such as "Les grandes marées", a great summer saga, as well as "Dans un grand vent de fleurs", "Victoire" and "La douleur des femmes". Alongside Alain Delon in the series "Fabio Montale" and in TV films such as "Le temps des secrets et le temps des amours" on France 3 or "Le secret d'Elise" on TF1. 

     

    In 1971 she made her first film with director Nadine Trintignant, "Ça n'arrive qu'aux autres", and went on to make more than 50 films for the cinema, the last of which will be released in 2023, "Forever", directed by the Franco-Egyptian actor Aytel Jensen, for which she had just finished shooting.

     

    Andrée Damant was born on 20 September 1929 in Avignon where she regularly visited her sister. Her brother owned a house in Fraissinet de Lozère where she regularly went to recharge her batteries. She came four times to the International Film Festival of Vébron, which she had known thanks to her friend, the Cévennes actress Bernadette Lafont, who was also her next-door neighbour in the Marais district of Paris. She had been President of the Jury, and had returned three times to give readings, notably of letters written to her by Bernadette Lafont.

     

    Andrée Damant died in Paris on Tuesday 6 December at the age of 93. José Joilan and Michel Benoit, President and Vice-President of the Association, said: "The Vébron Film Festival has just lost its grandmother. She loved the Festival team, the village and the encounters she had there. Vébron was a haven of peace for her. She helped us many times by opening her address book to invite this or that artist to the Festival. In 2023, we will pay tribute to her.

     

     

    For the Mayor of the village, Alain Argilier, "Andrée Damant was a talented actress with whom I shared some very good times. Always sparkling, sunny, radiant, her smile and kindness will be missed at the Festival. When she came to Vébron she stayed at our house and we became real friends. We would always go to Bernadette Lafont's grave in the Cévennes, where we would talk for a long time, sometimes surrounded by other friends like the actor and director Lucien Jean-Baptiste. We are so saddened today by her death. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

    The Vebron's International Film Festival is ...

     

    The Vebron Film Festival emanates from a simple idea: to create a cultural event around cinema within a small village and its inhabitants, in order to make numerous and varied cinematographic works accessible to audiences that are themselves varied. The atmosphere is warm, far from rhinestones and glitter. The personalities present make themselves available and completely accessible. Cinematic quality without its artifices...

    In a few lines and to make a long story short it is...

     

    • An official competition, with more than 12 hours of film screenings from around the world, where amateurs mingle and professionals, in all genres: fictions, documentaries, clips, reports, animations, school or workshop films etc.
    • Big movie nights, some of them in the open air, followed by conferences and debates.
    • A plethora of educational or recreational activities, video courses, various workshops and exhibitions for all tastes and ages.
    • Also, the Festival store, as well as a restaurant area open to all for lunch and dinner.
    • Festive evenings with musical entertainment.
    • 5 festival days always marked by quality, originality, conviviality, rich in encounters and friendships.

     

    Always an artist, an actor, a director on the corner of a street with whom to have a drink or taste a Cévennes speciality!

     A privileged place for meetings and exchanges,

    To promote film culture in rural areas

     

    The Lozerian association, l'Ecran Cévenol, organizes every year

    the Vebron International Film Festival since 1988.

     

    Sponsored since the beginning by the actress Bernadette LAFONT, this cultural event, the oldest in the department of Lozere, has been promoting for more than 29 years, the talent of filmmakers through a competition of short films open to all amateur and professional videographers.

     

    Our ambition is to propose each year a diversity of cinematographic works, a launching pad for young directors and a "scouts" of new talents.

    This initiative contributes to the development of film programming in rural areas and participates in local dynamics.

     

    Actor in the field of distribution and creation, the Vébron Festival also aims to be a platform for meetings, projects and collaborations between professionals and amateurs.

     

    The Ecran Cévenol defends and promotes this cultural project in order to modernize it, within a territory resolutely turned towards the future, and with the desire to express a "living rurality".

     

    At a time when culture is no longer really at the center of concerns, we must fight to bring to life what we have been working for for nearly 30 years.

     

    In advance, thank you all for your support!
