History

From 1^st to 10^th Sep­tem­ber 2006.
On the Festival’s sug­ges­tion, Carti­er – which became an essen­tial part­ner of the Fes­ti­val – cre­at­ed a Rev­e­la­tion Prize, with the con­sti­tu­tion of a sep­a­rate, pres­ti­gious Jury. On the pro­gram, there was also a ret­ro­spec­tive, “The President’s Films”, ded­i­cat­ed to the Pres­i­dent of the Unit­ed States and to the office’s numer­ous cin­e­mato­graph­ic rep­re­sen­ta­tions, so inti­mate­ly linked to the country’s his­to­ry, a trib­ute to the Sun­dance Insti­tute, on the occa­sion of its 25^th Anniver­sary, and a spe­cial “Uncle Sam’s Docs” sched­ule ded­i­cat­ed to the Simon Wiesen­thal Cen­tre and to its cin­e­ma depart­ment, Mori­ah Films. The Mas­ter­class was giv­en by direc­tor Dar­ren Aronof­sky. In the wings of the Fes­ti­val, the state of Louisiana was the guest of hon­our of the C.I.D, which con­ferred new scale on the US Vil­lage estab­lished on its Ter­races, fac­ing the sea, with var­i­ous con­certs, events, exhi­bi­tions and encounters.
