Meeting of an author and young video artists

16/02/12 – 19h00 – Free entrance

Gallery of the art of time – Les presses – 73 avenue de l’URSS – Clermont-Ferrand

 

The Vidéobar #21 will welcome the young author Cécile Coulon from Clermont-Ferrand. Around her texts, the students of the video workshop “3 minutes for a city” of the University Culture Service of Clermont-Ferrand will present the result of a collaboration on the notion of portrait, written and in images. The characters of Cécile’s novels and short stories will come to life through the films made by the young video artists.

Cécile Coulon was born in 1990. She studied Modern Literature in Clermont-Ferrand. At the age of seventeen, she published her first novel, Le Voleur de vie, followed by a collection of short stories, Sauvages, published by Éditions Revoir, a publisher from Auvergne. In addition to Steinbeck, Bret Easton Ellis, Proust, she is passionate about cinema (The Night of the Hunter, The Big Lebowski) and music (Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry). In 2010, she signed with Viviane Hamy, and published Méfiez-vous des enfants sages. Her second novel, Le Roi n’a pas sommeil (The King is not asleep), has been a great success with the critics since its release last December.

As a cultural service of Clermont University, the SUC is a space for artistic practices, through its workshops and courses, intended primarily for students of the Auvergne academy. Various fields are offered, such as visual arts, cinema, dance, writing, reading, music and theater.
