Cinéma : « A voies hautes »

Thueyts, Ardèche

Opening : Saturday 3 May 2025.

‘A voies hautes’ by Solène Desbois will be screened at La Vesprade. It shows a group of secondary school pupils who, accompanied by their teacher, decide to take a trip to the Alps, the Mont Blanc massif and the Mer de Glace.

For the first time, the commune of Thueyts is hosting the ‘Allo la Planète’ web radio station and the organising association of the ‘Joyeuse Escale’ festival, a travel and adventure event held in Joyeuse every Ascension weekend. Launched in 2023, the Courtes Escales are an extension of the spirit of this well-known festival, now offering several villages in the Ardèche a screening of films dedicated to travel and exploration. It's an opportunity for the public to meet and talk to the directors and protagonists of the films.

It was with this in mind that the association invited the commune of Thueyts to host a screening. The film ‘A voies hautes’ by Solène Desbois will be screened at La Vesprade.
A group of secondary school pupils from a school in La Rochelle, who have come together to take part in the Demain c'est Nous (Tomorrow is Us) teaching option, are working on the issue of climate change, with the aim of moving beyond awareness to take concrete action. But there are more questions than answers. How can we grasp the scale of the impact of climate change? How do you argue when all you have is theory and nice ideas? How can we think about a happy future when we are fully aware of what is at stake?
To find out for themselves, Marion, Enzo, Léonie and the others, accompanied by their teacher Fanny, a geographer and explorer, decide to set off on a journey: to the Alps, the Mont-Blanc massif and the Alps.
