On Sunday, October 16, 2022 the screening of The Witch and the Martian took place at the UGC Ciné Cité of Bordeaux as a part of the Young program of the FIFIB (Bordeaux International Independent Film Festival).

The screening of the film was accompanied by the screening of the short film “J’aimerais, j’aimerais pas” made by the students of the Georges Lapierre College of Lormont as a part of the “Atelier de Bricolage Cinématographique” directed by Thomas Bardinet.

The newspaper Sud-Ouest published a review of the film on this occasion.

“It’s a tale, a real one, with a witch, fairies and, while we’re at it, Martians too.  A story that came out of the imagination of children, of many children who have nourished an original and unique filmography, that of the Ateliers de bricolage cinématographique (ABC) of Floirac, directed by the Bordeaux director Thomas Bardinet for ten years.”
