AWARD WINNERS 2009 (in french)
Organized by the Roman Museum. Director:
Mr. Christophe Goumand
Every two years, the Roman Museum organizes the International Festival of Archaeological Films of Nyon. The Festival has already been held six times, in 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2009. Nyon has become the prime Swiss venue for devotees of films on archaeology and joins a group of similar festivals in France (Bordeaux, Amiens), Germany (Kiel) and Belgium (Brussels).
Archaeology is a dynamic science and is arousing growing interest among a wide-ranging segment of the public. The documentary film is assuredly one of the most appropriate ways of presenting it and bringing alive its numerous facets. A substantial number of high-quality archaeological films already exist, produced either by major film companies or by museums, archaeological missions or departments, amateur enthusiasts, etc.
