Culture of Wallonia

As an area of the Great Area, Wallonia takes part in the program of the Européenne year of the Capitale of the Culture 2007 .

To speak about culture of the Wallonia seems relatively recent but it was already actually the intention of Jules Destrée at the time of the Exposition of Charleroi of 1911 which to establish the legitimacy of this concept. Even if the shutter culture of the exposure of this year had company name old Arts of Hainaut , one feels the will to convene during the exposure, all that is attached to the arts and sciences (as it was said then), to indicate a culture enracinée in Wallonia, the methods of this rooting which can be multiple, divided with other people like the French and the Flemish , all Europeans, all the other human beings because the Art is universal.

Cartoon

Wallonia played an important role in the evolution of the Belgian and international cartoon in the Années 1940 - 1950. Thus throughout second half of the XXe century, without for all this the readers of the French-speaking data base are aware of it, a whole series of topics, landscapes, elements of the history of this country appear in the Walloon Cartoon. One speaks about “school of Marcinelle” (where the editions Dupuis were established) to indicate this movement. Many draftsmen of talent Walloon but more largely Belgian or French began their career in the weekly magazine Spirou (Dupuis) which appears in Belgium since 1938. Below, an not-exhaustive list draftsmen as well Wallons as Of Brussels:

Cinema

The Walloon cinema does not exist only through individual talents. Admittedly, many actors or actors end up being attracted by the French cinema. It is however possible to outline a Histoire of the Walloon cinema and to even trace of them the tension fields which are the tension fields of the history itself of Wallonia, which corresponds to the ideas of Jean-Michel Frodon on the national Projection (the cinema is related to the nations). The Walloon films are often characterized by social realism, like films of the Frères Dardenne ( the Promise , Rosetta (Palme of Gold to Cannes), the Son , the Child , also Gold Palme in Cannes in 2005) or the Conveyers await Benoît Mariage. As well as the documentary social of Patric Jean.

On the other hand, the side completely shifted of Vase of weddings of Thierry Zéno (1974), Mireille in the life of the others of Jean-Marie Buchet (1979), It arrived close to on your premise of Rémy Belvaux and André Bonzel (1992) and to extravagant the No5el Godin and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

Wallonia does not shelter any cineclub. Part of the collection of the royal Cinémathèque of Belgium is preserved in the citadel of Namur, but the Walloons must move with the Musée of the cinema of Brussels to see these films.

No room projects pointed cinema (experimental Cinéma, underground, newspaper or test filmed or simply different, unusual in the content or the form.)

There however exists the network of the rooms known as “Art and test” ( the Park with Charleroi, '' Churchill '' and '' the Park '' with Liege, Plaza Art with Mons and the Forum with Namur) but, in practice, they diffuse only cinema subsidized “general public”.
