Festival Art & Toiles: When Cinema Meets Painting
Since 2013, the Marcel Oms cine-club has organized the Art & Toiles festival at the Le Mondial cinema in Collioure, creating a unique meeting point at the crossroads of the seventh art and the visual arts. In the "Painters' City", the cradle of Fauvism and a land of inspiration for Matisse, Derain, and many others, this program takes on a special resonance.
A Program Between Fiction and Documentary
The festival mixes fiction films and documentaries exploring the life, work, and universe of painters from all eras and origins. Previous editions have featured artists such as Kim Tschang-yeul, Gabrièle Münter, Nicolas de Staël, and Giacometti, offering the public a rich and varied cinematic perspective on the world of painting.
Discussions and Conviviality
Beyond the screenings, the festival offers discussions with art lecturers and specialists, book signings in partnership with the Oxymore bookstore, and convivial moments that enrich this intimate event. Speakers come to shed light on the projected works and share their expertise.
An Autumn Edition
Since 2025, the Marcel Oms cine-club also offers an autumn edition of the Art & Toiles festival, this time dedicated to music in cinema, broadening the event's thematic scope.
