In the heart of the Frontignes, the small village of Malvezie is quietly establishing itself as a veritable stronghold of Pyrenean culture, hosting exceptional literary events with the L’Indépendante bookshop and taking part in the prestigious Terres Vivantes en Comminges festival. This international film festival devoted to the world of agriculture and rural life will be stopping off in Malvezie on 3 August, with its committed documentaries and open-air screenings, confirming the village’s commitment to a demanding, eco-responsible cultural programme. From nature to women’s writing, from reflections on writing to auteur cinema, Malvezie passionately cultivates this mountain art of living, where culture harmoniously interacts with the grandiose landscapes of the Comminges.
L’Indépendante bookshop invites you to an exceptional literary evening in Malvezie with Gabrielle Filteau-Chiba, a leading figure in contemporary nature writing. The evening will mark two events: the launch of the new ‘Animales’ collection from Éditions Dépaysage, directed by the author herself, and the release of her latest story, ‘Louve en juillet‘, the first title in this ecofeminist collection. Born out of a desire to give a voice to women who are reinterpreting their relationship with the wild world, this collection gives a central place to women’s stories about nature, the forest and links with living things. Readers who were touched by “Encabanées”, “Sauvagines” and “Bivouac” will rediscover Gabrielle Filteau-Chiba’s sensitive and powerful writing in this masterful new text.
