Guilcher dance film colloquium, Médiathèque de Bayonne
On Wednesday 18 November 2026 at 09:00 the Médiathèque de Bayonne hosts a colloquium on the films of the ethnologist Jean-Michel Guilcher, shot in the Basque Country and Béarn in the 1960s and 70s around traditional dance. The morning session puts the archive in context, with talks by Claude Iruretagoyena, Mône Guilcher and Jon Iruretagoyena, among others. The afternoon analyses the films territory by territory, from Soule and Navarre to Labourd, Lower Navarre and Béarn, with dance teachers and researchers. The day closes with an evening from 18:30 to 20:00 of a musical, danced and commented screening with students of the Maurice Ravel conservatoire and the Pau conservatoire. The listing says registration is required, through an online form, and does not give a price. The event is listed as running until 21:00. A colloquium is easy to attend alone, as the talks and breaks give natural moments to chat with other attendees. «Ce colloque permettra de mettre en lumière les films de l'ethnologue Jean-Michel Guilcher, réalisés au Pays basque et en Béarn autour de la danse traditionnelle.» Starts 09:00, ends about 21:00.
