About the Regional Council

The Regional Council of Brittany invests in many areas to enhance the quality of life of its inhabitants.

Its actions range from professional training to transportation (regional trains, school buses, daily connections to the Breton islands), as well as grants to companies.

By investing in this way, the council takes part in essential projects for the region, hence promoting equality in town and county planning, through rail and port infrastructure, building and maintaining secondary schools, reinvigorating town centres and increasing highspeed broadband internet access.

The council also supports many cultural events, which ensures the cultural, sports and linguistic vitality of Brittany, known to be one of the most open and welcoming regions in France.

Why support the La Gacilly Photo Festival ?

In France, Brittany is the region that has the most artistic and cultural events going all year round. The council wishes to support and encourage this vitality.

The council helps ambitious projects come alive, even more so when they have deep roots in the region and contribute to innovating Brittany’s cultural way of life, from live performance to fine arts.

Because the La Gacilly Photo Festival is so active in terms of putting contemporary creation in the spotlight, helping young artists emerge, and because it works closely with many professional networks and has developed a comprehensive film education programme, the Regional Council has decided to give strong support to its actions.

It is in the name of their shared values that the Regional Council supports the Gacilly festival.

Our common values for a sustainable future

In 2017 the Regional Council launched a hyphen political project based on sober and sustainable development with goals to reach by 2040. The process, which was inspired by the Conference of the Parties held in Paris (COP21), is called Breizh Cop.

The Regional Council is currently fully engaged in the Breizh Cop process and is working with professionals from the cultural sector around 3 main subjects: the fight against climate change, the promotion of gender equality and the development of cultural rights.

These concerns are shared by the La Gacilly Photo Festival, as shown by their manifesto claiming a more sustainable approach in their future organization.
