This anniversary program will honor artists, festivals and partner structures with whom the DCL team has realized several projects in the region and abroad, creating each time unique links between artists and inhabitants. In partnership with Citerne.live, you will be able to discover all the selected films and vote online for the Audience Award of the International Competition DAN.CIN.FEST 2022 around the theme POWER. This prize will be awarded on Sunday 3 April in a physical ceremony at the Cinéma Le Méliès in Saint-Etienne - France.
