The 8th edition of the 7ème Ciel festival took place from May 8 to 11, 2025 in Limogne-en-Quercy, at the Salle culturelle La Halle. The festival featured about twenty films exploring the themes dear to the festival: struggles, peasantry, territories, Occitan language and culture.

Program

Among the films screened:

• "The Straight Story" by David Lynch (1999) — the story of Alvin, 73, who travels across America on a lawnmower to visit his brother
• "Peaux de Vaches" by Patricia Mazuy — an intense rural drama
• "Perdrix" by Erwan Le Duc — an offbeat comedy set in a rural environment
• "Banditi a Orgosolo" by Vittorio De Seta — a masterpiece of Italian neorealism about pastoral life in Sardinia
• "The Rider" by Chloé Zhao (2017) — portrait of an injured cowboy in the badlands of Dakota
• "Wolfwalkers" by Tomm Moore and Ross Stewart (2020) — an animated film for the whole family

Short films by ENSAV students were also presented in the presence of the filmmakers. A concert by Kevin Papillon's flamenco and a grand traditional & pop ball enlivened the evenings.
