Ongoing plans

Centre for training and research
One of the main aims of the Association is to welcome artists and researchers to facilitate their research & creative work. Thus, each year, CÉCI welcomes as residents - and provides support for - scriptwriters, writers for the cinema and composers of film music. Professional meetings are organised with scriptwriters, filmmakers, composers and key producers. Symposia are also organised around leading filmmakers.

On the musical front, every summer the Association organises the International Music Academy, thanks to which numerous professional musicians have been able to further their training and work with highly qualified teachers. Since the creation of this Academy in 1987, more than 1400 professionals and students have participated in master-classes, led by teachers from around the world. At the end of the session, a music festival allows participants to celebrate their talent.

A place for creation and dissemination
The residencies and training offered by the Moulin d’Andé culminate in musical and film productions. Thus, the “Alexander Paley and Friends” Festival has become an unmissable musical event that each year reunites musicians and spectators who have attended the Festival since its inception in 1992. Like all Cultural Centres, the Moulin d’Andé also has an interest in disseminating work : CECI, Centre for Film Writing, got together with the Research and Experimental Film Group (“GREC”) - which produces the works of young filmmakers – and with Documentaries for the Big Screen (“Documentaires sur Grand Écran”) - which distribute French and international documentaries in cinemas - to create the magazine “Crossover Cinema” (“Cinémas Croisés”). Its first edition came out in 2001.

Open to the world
The Moulin d’Andé welcomes seminars, study days and symposia throughout the year. An extensive programme of refurbishment and development by the owner since the 1960s has resulted in vastly expanded facilities and improved services. Seminars play a crucial role in financing running costs.
