The French movie goers take films seriously. In fact they take everyone's films seriously.\nIf it were not for film<\/span> festivals, independent filmmakers might remain in obscurity throughout their working life. Films are categorized in various genres, and The few who qualify to showcase their work at a festival will also receive important press coverage and even a substantial price reward to the winner.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Music<\/span> Day... a must attend!<\/h3>

In 1982, the Minister of Culture<\/span> launched a strange project encouraging students to play on the streets of all cities of France for 24 hours without a permit. Very criticized by the masses for legalizing sound around the clock, it held its ground.\n\n30 years later, La Fete de la Musique (Music<\/span> Day) witnesses thousands of bands of all sorts and all ages take over the streets of France with style. Classical, Rock & Pop, Jazz, Reggae, New Wave, Punk\u2026have conquered all corners of all cities, attracting millions of curious around the summer solstice: June 21st of each year.\n\n.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
