Classic music and birdsong
Schubert, Granados, Grieg, Debussy and the song of skylarks, nightingales and finches…

For the third consecutive summer, the silver screen comes to the Bambouseraie for an evening of movie entertainment, organised in partnership with Ales Film Festival – Itinérances.
Screening of the Japanese cartoon “The tale of princess Kaguya”(2 hours 17 mins), directed by Isao Takahata and produced by Studio Ghibli
The film is inspired by the 10th century legend of the Bamboo cutter of Murasaki Shikibu, considered to be Japan’s oldest tale. The tale tells the story of a young girl who is “glowingly” beautiful, and who was found as a baby by a peasant in a bamboo stalk. She grows into a magnificent young woman, coveted by the country’s greatest princes, ready to face impossible challenges in the hope of winning her hand.
Isao Takahata is a Japanese cartoon maker (1935-2018). He co-founded Studio Ghibli, with Hayao Miyazaki. He is famous for Grave of the Fireflies (1988), as well as Jarinko Chie (1981), Pompoko (1994), My neighbors the Yamadas (1999) and The tale of the princess Kaguya (2013).

The conference sets out to show that the question of biodiversity is not uniquely one
of biological ecology, whose aim is to protect the “environment”, but that biodiversity is
also linked to the uniformity of our way of living and the single model of industrial and
agricultural productivity.
Biodiversity and preservation of cultural diversity, practices and languages, go hand in
hand…

In partnership with the association, Bousco. From 9.30am to 6pm, the day of plants will be attended by around twenty nursery exhibitors and speakers in the big meadow…
