Échos d'Estives
Projection - Rencontre
Venez découvrir Échos d’estives, un documentaire immersif dans les Pyrénées réalisé par Léna Corsaut et Leila Marliac. Chaque été, dans les Pyrénées, les troupeaux quittent les vallées pour rejoindre les pâturages d’altitude. À travers une traversée à pied du massif, Léna et Leila sont allées à la rencontre de celles et ceux qui vivent au rythme des estives. Le film dresse huit portraits d’éleveurs et éleveuses. Entre documentaire de terrain et regard intimiste, Échos d’estives donne la parole à des femmes et des hommes profondément liés à leurs territoires. Une œuvre qui interroge notre rapport à l’élevage, à la montagne et aux équilibres fragiles du vivant. La projection sera suivie d’une rencontre avec les réalisatrices ainsi que Claire et Christophe, des éleveurs locaux, afin de prolonger les échanges autour des réalités du pastoralisme aujourd’hui, des enjeux agricoles et des expériences vécues sur le terrain.

Shepherds - Cinema under the stars
Drama Comedy
During the summer period, the Maison offers open-air cinema sessions. We invite you to the Luz-Saint-Sauveur orchard to experience an exceptional movie night with a panorama of mountain peaks silhouetted against the night sky. In this unusual setting, come and discover the drama comedy Shepherds by Sophie Deraspe. This evening is organised in partnership with the Pyrenees National Park; park rangers will lead the evening to discuss and exchange ideas about their activities. To accompany this session, we recommend that you picnic in the Parc de la Mairie de Luz-Saint-Sauveur before the gates of the Orchard open for the session. Synopsis: On a whim, Mathyas trades his life as an advertising executive in Montreal for that of a shepherd in Provence. He hoped to find peace and quiet, but discovers a tiring job and breeders who are often at their wits' end. But when he meets Elise, who has also left everything behind, they are entrusted with a flock of 800 sheep and embark on a transhumance. Together, they will face the trials of the mountain and forge a new life.

À travers des paysages spectaculaires et les travaux des scientifiques qui les étudient, le film révèle le rôle essentiel de ces milieux fragiles dans la compréhension des changements environnementaux. Véritables indicateurs de la santé des montagnes, les lacs d'altitude constituent des observatoires privilégiés de l'évolution du climat et de la biodiversité. À l'issue de la projection, les gardes-moniteurs partageront leur expérience du territoire pyrénéen et échangeront avec le public autour des enjeux liés à la préservation de la ressource en eau, élément vital et fil conducteur de cette saison. Une rencontre pour mieux comprendre la richesse, la fragilité et l'importance de l'eau dans nos montagnes.
