Organizing the Icronos Film Festival
An interview with Laetitia Dion
Every two years, the Icronos International
Archaeology Film Festival of Bordeaux brings archaeological
film producers to France to share their works in front of a
live audience. One of a number of such festivals in Europe,
the Icronos Festival has become a stable fixture of the European
archaeology film festival circuit, creating a valuable venue
for producers specializing in this genre. In this interview,
recorded on 19 December 2002, Laetitia Dion, one of the principal
organizers of the Icronos Festival, shares with Rick Pettigrew
and our audience her experience and perspective on organizing
such an event.
Ms. Dion and her organization have been very helpful also in
providing assistance to ALI as we organize The Archaeology
Channel International Film and Video Festival, to be
held at the McDonald Theatre in Eugene, Oregon, USA, during
16-19 July 2003. For more information about that event, click
