A day at the Dinard British Film Festival

On Monday, September 22nd, 2025, students from BTS Assurance and BTS Comptabilité-Gestion took part in an educational trip to the Dinard British Film Festival.

Organized by their English teacher, Mrs Étienne, this cultural outing allowed students to experience the magic of British and Irish cinema while improving their listening skills in English.

The group attended the screenings of two internationally acclaimed films:

• Small Things Like These (Tim Mielants, Ireland, 2024)
• Kneecap (Rich Piepatt, Ireland/Great Britain, 2024)

Both films offered powerful stories and authentic accents, immersing students in real English-speaking environments.

During lunchtime, students enjoyed a picnic by the seaside before heading back to the cinema for the second screening. The atmosphere was both relaxed and enthusiastic!

Here’s what some students said about their experience:

« I really loved Small Things Like These! The story was moving and the Irish setting was beautiful. »

« We saw the reality in convents and the wickedness of the nuns »

« Kneecap was very interesting because it stood for the emancipation of Irish Gaelic language »

To conclude, the day was a perfect mix of language learning, culture, and cinema, a great way to start the school year with inspiration and motivation !
