The closing ceremony of the 7th Lumière festival

 


PostEd ON  18.10.2015



This evening, on the stage of the Halle Tony Garnier, Martin Scorsese will bid his goodbyes to the city of Lyon, after an intense three-day show, filled with moments of emotion and cinephilia.
 
 
 
For one week, Scorsese's cinema has been at the heart of the program of this 7th edition, films he has directed as well as heritage treasures restored by his foundation. After the ceremony, the audience will attend the screening of Goodfellas, his 1990 masterpiece, a world premiere of its restored print.

During the festival's closing ceremony, the 2nd annual High School Students Prize will be awarded. Audiences of the Halle Tony Garnier can discover which movie the high school students have chosen to honor. Once again assisted by the educational staff of the Institut Lumière, in collaboration with the Rhône-Alpes region, the award will succeed last year's Prize, which resulted in a tie between High Heels by Pedro Almodóvar and It's a Wonderful Life by Frank Capra.
