Né de l'initiative de l’Échappée Belle et conjointement organisé cette année avec l’Alliance Française d’Amsterdam, en collaboration avec Cinéart Nederland, Tapis Rouge va de nouveau illuminer le mois de novembre en vous faisant découvrir les dernières pépites du cinéma français : vous rirez et serez émus par la quête improbable d’une mère à la recherche de son enfant, vous assisterez à un défilé de mode à Alger et vous tremblerez face au tragique basculement d’une enfance paisible à Bujumbura...

Partage d'émotions et de destins, le cinéma c'est d'abord la rencontre de l'autre. Dans ce contexte inédit et avec le respect des impératifs sanitaires, Tapis Rouge est, pour les habitants d’Amsterdam, La Haye, Rotterdam, Groningen, Maastricht et Eindhoven, une promesse de dialogues et d'échanges autour du meilleur de la culture française.

C'est avec un plaisir renouvelé que j’apporte mon soutien à ce rendez-vous cinéphile désormais incontournable !

Luis Vassy, Ambassadeur de France aux Pays-Bas.

PRESIDENT OF THE JURYpierre assouline« Quel écrivain mesure vraiment le risque qu’il court en abandonnant son œuvre entre les mains d’un cinéaste qui en fera la sienne ? Le plus souvent, il est conscient du malaise à naître de la dépossession, mais moins des affres de l’appropriation par un autre créateur. Un détournement de but, de sens, d’esprit le menace ; si le livre en question a eu peu de lecteurs, le dommage demeure

personnel, intime ; dans le cas contraire, le risque est grand qu’il porte préjudice au livre, se superpose au puissant souvenir que le lecteur en avait gardé, le dénature peut-être jusqu’à l’éclipser sinon s’y substituer. Par rapport à de grands romans tels que Le Guépard ou les Mémoires de Barry Lyndon, nous disposons du recul nécessaire pour en juger ; mais Lampedusa et Thackeray

ne sont plus là pour nous dire s’ils en veulent à Visconti et Kubrick ou si au contraire ils les louent de leur avoir donné un second souffle.»

Le mot de l'ambassadrice et du président du jury 19

Je pourrai rédiger un habile plaidoyer en faveur du cinéma français mais ce serait ennuyeux à mourir. Puis-je laisser parler mon cœur ? L’été meurtrier, Hiroshima mon amour, Le rayon vert... les films d’Isabelle Adjani, toutes les adaptations cinématographiques des livres de Marguerite Duras, tous les films d’Eric Rohmer, tous ces films qui ont fait ma jeunesse. Tous ces films qui, moi

et tant d’autres, nous ont forgé l’esprit. Ces films français, innovants, nous ont fait fantasmer, nous ont amenés à penser et à ressentir des choses que nous ne connaissions pas auparavant. Ce qui est sûr c’est que les films du programme de Tapis Rouge Franse FilmSelectie sont tous aussi inspirants et addictifs que l’étaient ceux dont je suis tombée amoureuse à l’époque. Aller voir un film de la

sélection Tapis Rouge est le moyen le plus sûr d’être transportée en France. L’esprit se développe sans les effets secondaires. Venez, je vous emmène !
