Place aux voyages imaginaires

Led, around the mayor Ghislain Chassary, by several elected officials of the town, including the elected official for youth Pascal Martinez, the second edition of this young festival is confirmed for the spring, from April 4 to 6, still at the cultural center of Rousson.

The list of major guests of the session is still being drawn up, but the organization promises more stands and activities dedicated to the practices video games, without forgetting literary and cultural partners. Last year, the festival had, in particular, welcomed academics, writers (such as Pierre Chavagné, winner of the Cabri d’Or), or Jordan Mechner, creator of the cult game Prince Of Persia.

After “virtual worlds”, the festival will have as its central theme that of “imaginary journeys”. For the town, the interest of this festival, entirely free for its visitors, is, in addition to the part linked to the pleasures of the game, to make discover to all generations the riches of digital creations and their capacities as vectors of future and reflections.
