Allowing themselves the possibility to imagine a new society and, above all, to experiment it on the ground.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Genegamma_-1410271371" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/118251/genegamma_-1410271371.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>My approach </strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> I travelled to the Pyrenees several times to shoot. As I live in Paris, I'd take the train to Toulouse, my equipment on my back, then share a ride to the Aude mountains to get to the shooting location. I was working on such a shoestring (as the film is entirely self-produced) that this influenced my way of working and, ultimately, enabled me to get closer to my subject and to my characters' approach: an economy of means, mutual assistance, freedom of creation, and the rigour and pleasure of doing a job you have chosen.</p> <p> It can truly be said that A GENTLE RESISTANCE is a degrowth film!</p> <p>  </p> <p> At any rate, it did not take the usual production path and yet it exists, has been selected in festivals, screened in cinemas, and is going to be distributed in French mediatheques by the distribution company Rambalh, which specializes in documentary films.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  <img alt="Yourte-1410336301" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/118388/yourte-1410336301.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>And you?</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> Many of you have already supported me in one way or another: through your technical support, by giving me your time, by sharing your view, and through your often moved impressions after screenings, with unexpected statements, such as Gustave's, aged 10: “It's the best grown-up film I've ever seen!” Wow! That was quite a gift!</p> <p>  </p> <p> The adventure has thus already begun: festival selections (Festival Résistance, Foix; Festival du film de Lama, Corsica; Visions du Réel film market, Switzerland), invitations to screen the film (Recontres Ecologie au Quotidien, Die; Cinéma Le Labor, Dieulefit; Nature &amp; Progrès evening, Rouvenac), Facebook messages: “I live in Quebec, we are a farmers' collective who try to work differently... We are interested in your film; where can we get a copy?”</p> <p>  </p> <p> You have supported me because you were touched by the film, its approach and the way in which it resonates for you.</p> <p>  </p> <p> I have invested a lot to complete this project, and several film screenings have already taken place, followed by fantastic debates. As I've already written, the adventure has already begun and NOW CONTINUES THANKS TO YOU!</p> <p>  </p> <p> As many of you have asked me for it,</p> <p> WE ARE ABOUT TO MAKE A DVD OF THE FILM “A GENTLE RESISTANCE”</p> <p> (with English subtitles)</p> <p>  </p> <p> So now, by choosing your perk, you can participate in this film's adventure and obtain a DVD of the film and other goodies only to be found on<strong> KissKissBankBank</strong>!</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="-_affiche_douce_resistance_defweb-1410336606" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/118390/-_affiche_douce_resistance_DEFWEb-1410336606.jpg"></p>
