From Warwick Thornton's Wolfram, presented at the opening, to Jonathan Teplitzky's Spit, screened at the closing, this edition offered an eclectic program, blending feature fiction films and documentaries. Under the patronage of actress Odile Vuillemin, the festival allowed the public to discover unique works, cultures, and perspectives, still underrepresented on French screens.
Particular attention was given to youth, notably through the Prix Nicolas Baudin. This award enables high school students from the region to take on the role of film jurors, offering them an immersion into the world of film criticism.
Beyond the screenings, the festival also provided an insight into Australian culture with an exhibition dedicated to contemporary Aboriginal art. This exhibition was hosted at the Lavoir Vasserot, adding an extra artistic and cultural dimension to the event.
The City expressed its gratitude to Bernard Bories, president of Cinéma des Antipodes, and his entire team for their unwavering commitment to Saint-Tropez. Thanks also go to Michel Perrault, Deputy Mayor for Culture and Heritage, the municipal services, and all the partners who contributed to the success of this event.
