Kill the referee de Y. Hinant, D. Lehericey (2009) – hors competition

77 min, o.v. st. French

“In a way, Kill the Referee by Yves Hinant, Eric Cardot and Delphine Lehericey is something of an anomaly in the program, since it shows us the football arena via those men in black who play a role as important as it is demanding. But, in watching this documentary, shown out of competition in Locarno in 2009, you will realize that here too it is more a matter of perspective than sporting action and that, fundamentally, referees are none other than a match’s first spectators.”  Carlo Chatrian, Artistic Director

How can a few crucial minutes in a football match change the life of an entire family? How do the «men in black» feel when they are attacked by supporters? Les arbitres unveils the lives of several professional football referees at the EURO 2008 championship; amongst them, the English referee Howard Webb, who provoked incredible controversy when he gave a penalty to Austria just before the end of the match with Poland, and the Italian Roberto Rosetti, who refereed the final. Filmed right at the heart of the action, we hear their comments during the matches thanks to lapel-mikes. Belgian producer Jean Libon, who initiated the project, obtained permission and access to what was going on behind the scenes thanks to support from UEFA president Michel Platini. No need to be a football fan to find the amazing world of professional referees utterly gripping!

The jewels of Lausanne, design and theatre arts, will be showcased at the House of Switzerland through performances, video projections, sound experiments and a surprising and irreverent exhibition. And no fewer than three leading Lausanne institutions have joined forces to give Parisians an insight into the best of Lausanne’s cultural scene: the Vidy-Lausanne Theatre, Arsenic (the contemporary performance art centre) and the mudac (museum of contemporary design and applied arts). This eclectic programme will be rounded off by independent record producer Creaked Records. The young, Lausanne-based label, producer of My Panda Shall Fly, will put together a dynamic musical programme for the event.

These cultural players from the city of Lausanne will come together on Wednesday 29 June, when the Vidy Theatre will stage a production by choreographer and contemporary dancer Marie-Caroline Hominal, as well as a performance and some emblematic (and football-related!) films by the multi-faceted artist Massimo Furlan. Plus, Arsenic will set Wanderlust ablaze, turning it into a stadium with the help of choreographer Maud Blandel and her cheerleaders. The mudac (museum of contemporary design and applied arts) will also be taking part in a venue it knows well, having previously been invited to exhibit at the neighbouring Cité de la Mode et du Design. It will create a permanent exhibition for the House of Switzerland, linked to its research work on contemporary forms of expression and scenographic exploration.

Picture this: amidst the football frenzy of Paris this summer, you are sitting on the city's most pastoral designer terrace, sipping a cocktail in a deckchair as the sun goes down... And you can watch all the Euro 2016 matches live on a giant screen, experiencing the pure emotion and passion inspiring this global event.

This is what we call 'le Slow Foot', or slow football, and that is our goal:  to give everyone, from the most ardent fans to the bon viveurs – who will find the best DJs and burgers/sausages at the Wanderlust – an outdoor arena to share a moment (or even more) dedicated to football, festivities and fine food.

The Wanderlust was created by the founders of Social Club and is located at the heart of the Cité de la Mode et du Design, a space devoted to fashion and design. Meet on the club's terrace overlooking the Seine to watch the Euro 2016 matches live – sometimes three a day – from 10 June to 10 July.

Besides nightlife, art and sport, the House of Switzerland will be inviting guests to come and take some time out. A breath of fresh Swiss air to enjoy every weekends in the form of gastronomic delights and culinary traditions, outdoor spaces and various acoustic open-air concerts... Wanderlust will be transformed into a laid-back and welcoming garden suspended above the Seine – a timeless yet typically Swiss slice of nature – where guests will be able to enjoy a brunch unlike any other.

Every weekends, the House of Switzerland will offer guests a unique taste experience in the heart of Paris, with a generous helping of Swiss savoir-faire, simplicity and conviviality. The giant table at the House’s weekend brunch will feature the best Switzerland has to offer. And we want guests to feel right at home. The focus will be on traditional Swiss fare, with top-quality artisanal and alpine products on the menu, such as cheese, raclette, cured meat, sausages, all types of bread, seasonal vegetables, sweet treats and local wines....Young and old alike can also take part in a chocolate workshop where they can create their own chocolate, mould it and taste it – a veritable dream come true for chocoholics. There will also be morning joga classes on Sunday for those who want to be active, while the more hedonistic can lie back in a deckchair and lose themselves in the sounds of an acoustic session while enjoying a fresh fruit juice or a glass of white wine and watching the Seine go by.
