Screening of the French-language film "Les secrets des Escartons. La charte des libertés briançonnaises" by Michel Faurè, with an introduction by Bruno Usseglio.
From the "Grande Chartre" of 1343 to modern cross-border projects: the Escartons represent a unique organisation that, for five centuries, has enabled Alpine communities to share resources and values.
This documentary traces the events that shook the territory straddling the Alps – from the Treaty of Utrecht to the French Revolution – analysing a shared historical and cultural past between Italy and France. By exploring these common roots, the film demonstrates how historical memory can become a valuable tool for looking to the future with hope and awareness.
