The Festival's Artistic Supporters

Georges Lautner

Writer & Director Jan 24, 1926 – Nov 22, 2013

Georges Lautner was the first godfather of the Festival Entr'2 Marches, from 2010 until his death in 2013. From the very beginning he has been an Unconditional support of our festival and despite his recognized talent, he has always been of a great humility in front of the young creators who offer us their films.

We keep him a memory of emotion and to honor his memory and never forget his support and kindness, our "Audience Award" became the "Audience Award Georges Lautner".

Chantal Lauby did us the honor to accept to take this difficult succession by being since 2014 the godmother of our Festival.

Julie De Bona

Succeeding Chantal Lauby, the actress Julie de Bona is this year the godmother

of the festival that makes the 7th Art accessible to all. About her role in "Learning to Love You" where she plays the mother of a Down's syndrome child, Julie tells us:"I believe that all women who have had, are hoping for or are expecting a baby can relate to this story. The director, who comes from a documentary background, had already dealt with many subjects around disability, Down's syndrome... According to her, in the majority of cases, when a child with Down's syndrome arrives, the father leaves. It is rarer that the mothers reject him. For the couple, it is especially the weight of society and the fact of integrating a different child into it that will be difficult to overcome.I wasn't necessarily looking for a strong role, but a strong subject to portray. During the shooting, the children with Down's syndrome had something more, more spontaneous, more real, more in the moment, more connected. They have an emotional intelligence, something poetic and impalpable that we no longer have. We have become too Cartesian, we have entered into the performance, the result... It gave us quite a slap in the face."

"I was very honored when Dominique Veran, the president of the international festival Entr'2 Marches, asked me to become a sponsor. At my level, I have always fought for the acceptance of the difference... to make sure that everyone understands that being different is normal. We are all different in our own way... I put on Timéo, a show about disability with wheelchair artists for the same reasons she put on this festival: to interest, intrigue, make people understand or at least think, help, shed light, etc. We don't all have the opportunity to have our asses between two chairs... but we all have the opportunity to help and love Entr'2 marches 😉 "
