The 2009 Tintin Festival 2009 will be held in
Namur
20th April
2009
We have already let you know about
the collaboration between the Institut National de l’Audiovisuel
(INA, National Audiovisual Institute) and Moulinsart s.a. Several
projects are ongoing; we will have the opportunity to keep you up
to date with them exclusively on tintin.com.
So as to give a taste of the rich
material contained within these archives, a fifty minute ‘best of’
selection will be screened at the Caméo 2 cinema in Namur, during
the Tintin Festival on 8, 9 and 10 May 2009.
This is an opportunity to
(re)discover some of the hidden aspects of Hergé’s personality. He
was not very forthcoming in interviews, except on occasions where
he found himself on the same wavelength as his interviewer. It is
the latter dynamic that we come across in these audiovisual
archives, which are important documentary sources.

Benoit LUTGEN,
the Minister of Tourism for Wallonia, the town of Namur and the
Studios Hergé will collaborate in the organisation of the
third Tintin Festival, which will take place from Friday 8th May to
Sunday 10th May 2009.
Slowly but surely, the Tintin
Festival, is establishing itself as an international event,
held every two years. In 2005, the first Tintin Festival was held
in Brussels, Lausanne followed in 2007, and next year's hosts will
be Namur, who may be succeeded by a town outside Europe.
The potential host cities are starting to submit their bids, all
suggestions are welcome.
It will be a convival festival
which has something for everyone, families, adults, children, and
the very knowledgeable Tintinophile Associations.
Each Tintin Festival allows us to
discover of rediscover the town and its surroudings.
This time the third Tintin
Festival in Namur, puts the spotlight on Wallonia and its
Capital.
Children will join at the
festival, by our four legged friends, for whom there will be
two contests, a Snowy look-a-like competition, and a
contest to find the smartest dog. The highlight of the
Tintin Festival in Namur will be the unveiling of Professor
Calculus's rocket.
