GUEST GUESTS AND FAMILY ATMOSPHERE
As every year, distinguished guests will spend two days in Neuchâtel: Laurent Ballesta, Cédric and Yanick Gentil, Bernard Abeille, Daniel Auclair or Danny Van Belle, among others, will be there. Festisub succeeds each year with a perfect mix of genres: sizes, but an almost family atmosphere, with highlights such as the famous Friday evening raclette, served to guests around one in the morning, an essential “Festisubian” tradition.
PROGRAMMING AND NEW DECOR
The three sessions proposed by Festisub on March 9 and 10, a number of award-winning films will be presented at the World Underwater Image Festival: it should be noted that Saturday afternoon is more particularly geared towards a family audience, with programming adapted to the youngest. All in a new setting on stage: last year, Kayak, the expedition dog Under the Pole, devoured the decor !!
BE SURE TO HAVE A PLACE
Building on the success of the past years, the team has just set up the “Festisub team” which allows you to flatter your ego by seeing your name on the giant screen, but also to pre-reserve your seats !!! And when we know the enthusiasm surrounding this event, we say to ourselves that it is certainly an excellent solution to “guarantee” your seat and support this essential event.
