, have joined forces to launch Drive-in Festival, a not-for-profit initiative that will take place in several cities across the country until theaters reopen.
The first session kicked off May 16 in Bordeaux on the Place des Quinconces, which welcomed 200 cars for “Hippocrate,” Thomas Lilti’s film which world premiered at Cannes’ Directors Fortnight in 2014. The idea is to host one screening per day and change location every week. Tickets cost €10 per adult and €5 per child, with the festival’s admissions going to local exhibitors and distributors.
Comte, whose company Charades handles prestige arthouse pics such as the Oscar-nominated “Mirai,” said the Drive-in Festival has no intention of competing with theaters and will stop as soon as they reopen, possibly in July.
