Translated from the original French:

Two weeks after Heritage Days, it’s the turn of Heritage Days!
What cultural heritage have the creators of the past transmitted to us?

For a weekend, in Mellionnec, Ty Films and the bookstore Le temps que il fait invite you to discover writers, filmmakers, artists, technicians, editors, historians and activists. This exploration will be done with the help of documentary film screenings, meetings and readings.

Also on the program, a concert, meals and conviviality.

Heritage?
“Contrary to popular belief, the term matrimony is not a neologism and dates back to the Middle Ages. But the word was gradually erased from our dictionaries, until its rehabilitation in the 21st century. It is reborn in a political context of feminist and social demands, driven by the challenge of (re)giving women their place in a common, mixed and egalitarian cultural heritage. […] Questioning heritage is also a way of renewing the way we look at heritage as a great story. Resulting from social demands, this notion would constitute a new heritage category that can be questioned in the light of current reflections on minority heritage, at a time when all heritage does not have the same social status and the same recognition. »
