HISTORY

A project born at University which has become a cultural event: AYE AYE FILM FESTIVAL NANCY LORRAINE.
Aye Aye V.O association was founded in 1994 by a group of cinema lover students who were dreaming of creating an original and audacious festival for Nancy's public.
Thanks to their work and conviction, the project became real: the first screening took place in June 1995 outdoors, in the heart of Nancy.

Why Aye Aye ?

The aye aye is a small lemur with big eyes, big ears and which lives at night. It is the perfect image for the ideal spectator: curious about everything, ready to discover sometimes astonishing, amazing, upseting, affecting original works.

The Aye Aye's Travels

Faithful to the small lemur's lifestyle, curious and attentive to the surrounding world, the association's project must evolve consistently with its cultural, social, and economic background, and bound with its european and international neighbours.

OUR COOPERATIVE PROJECT

67 ADHERENTS
61 VOLUNTEERS
16 MEMBERS  of Management Board
17 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

The aim of the association is to encourage creation, production, edition and broadcasting of all kinds of cultural and artistic works, especially cinema works. It can support any action which would encourage audiovisual economic development.
The association also promotes educational activities which contribute to the opening to cultural and artistic works, especially cinema ones, developing critical approach and understanding. 

It also promotes and encourages cultural and human exchanges. The projects allow people involved to acquire an experience improving their professionalization and personal development.

Aye Aye VO's actions are the products of a team's work. This team is composed of volunteers, militants, european volunteers, ressource persons and professionals.

The team works through a democratic process allowing first, strategic decision making (management board and general meetings) and then, the involvement of numerous volunteers.

Our associative line is a balance between this democratic will and the demand for quality actions, a balance between a necessity-sharing-and a need -efficiency.

In a world full of borders and limits, we have found a new way to avoid the traps of a two-speed culture. Together, we work for our public -children, adolescents, adults- to be moved and open up to the world.
