Let’s run up the colours of the Union Jack even higher

The atmosphere is sultry, the sky is threatening, you can see the familiar outline of the Villa Roche Brune, and just about guess that the sea is rough. A few angry-looking seabirds are struggling against the wind...
The poster of the 16th British Film Festival sets the scene.

A set that is somewhat reminiscent of Baudelaire’s Spleen :
« When the low, heavy sky weighs like a lid... ».

A set from Psycho,
a tribute to Alfred Hitchcock...

The picture was taken by Michel KOUMPANIETZ, a talented photo-enthusiast who is fond of Dinard, airplanes and birds. He likes to mention that this one was made without faking.

Beyond its artistic purpose, the poster sets the historical identity of our town, and pays tribute to our long-running friendship with our English neighbours.
In these days of grief and trials, such is our way to reaffirm that the axis between Dinard and London does exist, and that we should run up the colours of the Union Jack even higher.

Sylvie Mallet, Deputy Mayor, in charge of Cultural Affairs
