Do get there early though as there can be queues, and make sure to have a jumper or jacket with you as it can get cooler on the beach sand as night falls.<\/p>\n

The event begins at 9.30pm each evening and includes a ‘warm up’ act every night from rock to pop and electro, disco and more. Plus the cast and crew sometimes make an appearance on stage too.<\/p>\n

BARDOT<\/p>\n

Alain Berliner – 1h30, France\/Belgium<\/p>\n

Brigitte Bardot<\/strong><\/a> is French cinema’s first icon to achieve worldwide fame. As a muse, an adored star and a committed activist at the same time, she embodies a free woman but is sometimes misunderstood. Too loved or not loved enough, she goes through the spotlight before withdrawing to La Madrague, fleeing from the eyes of the public and the scandals. Today, she reflects on her life full of contrasts: her quick ascent, her status as an icon, her sometimes too radical statements in her fight for animal rights… As a pioneer in her commitments, she revolutionized the image of women and anticipated ecological battles which resonate even more today.
\nScreening in the presence of Alain Berliner and the team of the film.<\/em><\/p>\n
