On the trail of the scripts...
Free Outdoor exhibition

Initiated by the local council, Cinambule, the open-air exhibition in Plounéour-Brignogan-Plages, invites visitors on a cinematic journey through the village. Through 22 installations, the exhibition showcases films conceived during their creators’ time at Groupe Ouest. Along the way, one can read excerpts from screenplays or admire images from films. In each case, the landscape and installations interact, enhancing one another. The exhibition is freely accessible in Plouneour-Brignogan-Plages from July 2023 to June 2024.
For the 6th edition in 2024-2025, new locations such as a house near Chapelle Pol, a wall at Jean Guillou School, and the display window of Hôtel de la Mer serve as exhibition spaces. In the summer of 2024, visitors will have the privilege of discovering characters before the general public, as some of the featured films have yet to be released in theaters: Savages (October 16, 2024), Little Jaffna (2025) or Ghost Trail (July 3, 2024).
Driven by the idea of making screenwriting—a creative yet intangible and essential stage of filmmaking—more visible and accessible, the Plounéour-Brignogan-Plages council has undertaken a scenographic project right in the heart of the village. This initiative has been carried out in close collaboration with Le Groupe Ouest’s team, particularly with scenographer and photographer, Brigitte Bouillot.
For over fifteen years, Le Groupe Ouest has become a European benchmark in screenplay development, supporting over a thousand authors, screenwriters, directors – local and national and international. This expertise has contributed to the creation of around a hundred films that have been released in cinemas in France and abroad, many of which have won awards at international festivals. All have drawn inspiration from the ‘Côte des Légendes’ for their creative process.
From the Plage des Chardons Bleus to the former shallot-packing factory repurposed by Groupe Ouest, screenplay excerpts and characters imagined in the Côte des Légendes invite visitors to explore the art of storytelling. Here and there, on a street corner, among the rocks, in the town center, the exhibition offers a poetic rather than purely informative experience, encouraging each visitor to follow their own path, to create their own story, immersed in the excerpts and images of imagined characters. At La Gare, a dedicated site, visitors can read a page from the screenplay of each exhibited film.
