Many people, more than 150 people, had joined the courtyard of the Joliot Curie nursery school, rue Elsa-Triolet on Thursday, where the screening of the animated film by Tomm Moore and Ross Stewart was planned, The wolf people.
Still in partnership with Mon Ciné, Clément and Ilian, from LCA (Associated cinemas), were in charge of the projection on the giant screen installed in the schoolyard. Despite the big black clouds hovering over the school, the session took place in very good conditions, without a drop of rain.
The commune of Saint-Martin-d’Hères was represented by Céline Guette, the local urban and social management manager, who welcomed Martinérois, young and old alike, who came to the open-air cinema. Hassan Zhouihig, the head of the sport, youth, community life, prevention and mediation department, was present with his fellow citizens to attend the performance.
A great animated film
The film takes place in Ireland, at the time of superstitions and magic. Robyn, an 11-year-old girl, helps her father hunt the last pack of wolves. But one day, during a hunt in the forest, Robyn meets Mebh, a little girl by day, a wolf by night. Now for Robyn, having also joined the wolf people, the threat no longer comes from wolves, but from men.
A story that is both sad and moving, from Irish legends that celebrate nature in all its forms. Nothing to do with the big bad wolf of our children’s tales, but a powerful plea against war, the oppression of peoples and violence with beautiful values conveyed by the director such as female emancipation, sharing, friendship with endearing characters with the added bonus of Celtic legends that enchanted this Martinéroise evening.
Another great success of Mon Ciné’s open-air cinema program, always appreciated by the inhabitants of the neighborhoods. The next session of the summer will take place on Saturday, August 26 at 9 p.m. in the Pré-Ruffier park, with The little band.
