FILM LABS MEETING

A Collaborative program

Apart from very few things that are already set, the week program is still to be decided.
It is an important aspect to us that the program is constructed collectively.
The idea is that the schedule will result of your different proposals (we organise the schedule all together with your different proposals). It will be done during the morning plenary meetings.

PLENARY MEETING

This is essential – vital – indispensable… that everybody take part to the plenary meetings ! It’s a time for introducing yourself and propose an activity on the schedule.
Basically, plenary meetings will focus on the current day program (even if some activities can also be planned for the following days).

From monday to friday at la Fabrique Chantenay
9:30 > Coffee time
10:00 to 11:00 > Plenary Meeting
11:00 to 13:00 > Activities
13:00 to 14:30 > Lunch
14:30 to 19:00 > Activities
19:00 > Closing doors

Monday and tuesday the plenary sessions are going to be a bit longer. 10:00 to 13:00.
