On the 21, the closure day, was screened the Alban Vian documentary « Les Fantômes de la Manche »
(C-3D Convergence images). This
52-minute documentary brilliantly evoking an untold page of History - offensive U-Boote operations
after the Allied landing on the 6 of June - has captured the attention of viewers. The original topic perfectly fitted with this festival, unique and ambitious
event which broadcasts films of different genres, focusing on the various facets of the cinema screen, the film industry and stretching to personal reflection. The
audience never leave indifferent as each projected subject calls upon. An acknowledgment again made after the broadcast of « Les Fantômes de la
Manche » (« Ghosts of the Channel »). L'Expédition Scyllias was represented by its founder chairman, Jean-Louis Maurette, playing in the
documentary and answering questions from the audience during a debate animated by Sylvain de Cressac, director of cinéma du Casino, accompanied by
Laurence Racine, director of the Houlgate Tourist Office, both organizers of the event. A particularly successful evening where the audience could share,
question and express its interest in contemporary maritime history and especially in the fabulous Norman submerged heritage.
