Chantal de Beauregard created the Georges de Beauregard award as a tribute to her father, film producer Georges de Beauregard. In order to create a more relevant and lasting legacy, she chose to integrate the award to FID, as George de Beauregard was born in Marseille and his mother’s family was from this city. In 2001, FID launched the national and international Georges de Beauregard awards. Born in the Saint-Jérôme neighbourhood in Marseille, George de Beauregard produced short, medium-length and feature films, some of which are celebrated as documents that captured both history and their time:
La passe du diable after Jean-Pierre Kessel’s novel (1957), Jean-Luc Godard’s “Le petit soldat” (1960) on the algerian war, or classics such as “Breathless” (A bout de souffle) , “Cleo from 5 to 7” and “Pierrot le fou”.

With support from the Inter-Regional Directorate of Prison Services of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (PACA) and Corsica, the marseille prison centre and the Centre National du Cinéma (CNC), the association “Lieux Fictifs” partnered with the masters course in documentary filmmaking of Aix-Marseille University and with FIDMarseille to bring the film festival to the prison of Marseille Les Baumettes. Ten films from the competition will be selected based on their potential interest and suitability, and presented to a voluntary audience of inmates. The participants who have watched the entire programme will have the opportunity to become jury members and nominate a laureate. Each film will be presented by students from aix-marseille university and where possible by their director.
The award is endowed by the CNC, who purchases the rights for the laureate film for their “images de la culture” catalogue.

Renaud Victor (1946-1991) Filmmaker and actor, he conducts a long work on autism with Fernand Deligny and directed “Ce gamin là” (1975), “Fernand Deligny, a propos d’un film à faire” (1989) ). His latest film “De jour comme de nuit” (1991) is an immersion of two years in the daily life of the Baumettes prison.

Joseph Cesarini and Caroline Caccavale (directors / founders of Fictional Places) collaborate in the production of this film. Their meeting with Renaud Victor will be decisive in the action they will take on the image in prison at the Penitentiary Center in Marseille.
