Defending documentary cinema and making it accessible to as many people as possible, in a place where there has never been a cinema : this is the ambition, in 2007, of a group of friends wishing to share their interest in documentary film, around an annual event : Les Rencontres du film documentaire de Mellionnec.
In a little over 10 years, Ty films has become a centre of documentary cinema in Brittany, both open to the world and rooted in its territory. The activities have developed, both for the public and for professionals. Its real challenge : to build bridges between these two worlds and create a meeting between professionals and film lovers, so that one can be enriched by the eyes of the other. In 2017, Ty films created SKOL DOC, a documentary school for amateurs, students in initial training and professionals.
Ty films is a partner of FIDE and since 2014 has offered a young director the opportunity to participate in the Mellionnec Portraits workshop. An adventure that consists in proposing to four young directors to make, in two weeks, the filmed portraits of a resident. Over time, it is the portrait of the village and that of the young contemporary creation that emerge.
