On Sunday afternoon at 4pm, the Festival particularly paid tribute to female craftsworkers through the films of three directors: Alain Cavalier, Philippe Labrune and Christophe Rey. Each film, in its own way, celebrates these women – feather artist, textile designer, paper artist, glass artist or spinner – by sharing with us their story, their perspective on their profession and their artistic technique. Some fascinating and passionate individuals revealed their worlds to us through these intimate portraits.
