Ver Cine Colombiano: Noticias | Proimágenes Colombia

États généraux du film documentaire is a non-competitive festival created in 1989 by Jean-Marie Barbe, the Bande à Lumière, and the Ardèche Images association. Its primary goal is facilitating interactions among film and audiovisual professionals and students while encouraging exchanges between directors and a public interested in documentary filmmaking. Since its inception, the festival has transformed the village of Lussas into a renowned place in the French film and audiovisual scene, earning it the name of "the village of cinema." The event is organized around three axes: seminars to contemplate documentary creation, professional meetings, and film programs that allow rediscovering works of authors, filmographies, or documentary cinema. 

The program delves into uncharted territories of documentary history, shedding light on countries or regions rarely explored before. The absence of competition fosters a holistic exploration of these cinematic treasures. Screenings take place in Lussas and its neighboring villages, often within the welcoming homes of local families. The festival is closely affiliated with the Maison du doc, an organization established in 1994 by its founders, providing filmmakers with a platform to deposit their works for exclusive access to others. Each year, around 1,000 films find their home within this repository.
 
In its 2023 edition, held from August 20 to 26, the festival initiated a profound reflection on the portrayal of justice in cinema, the filming of trials, and the use of imagery as evidence. A special section dedicated to the origins of documentary filmmaking in Colombia, thoughtfully curated by Federico Rossin and generously supported by the Colombian Film Heritage Foundation and the French Embassy in Colombia, was a highlight of the event. The organizers describe this as "a unique exploration of the cinematic landscape of Colombia, a country marked by a tumultuous history, alongside a showcase of works by Luis Ospina."
