  • A documentary from France about the plight of young chess players

    "During two days of competition, 150 chess players were filmed during their confrontations. The movie makes us follow them on the road for the regional champion title and in their battles to be qualify for the French Championship."

    A movie by Romain Menu, coproduced by Romain and Marine Thuret (duration=26 min).

    "How to convey the intensity of the confrontations between chess players, in its essence static and mute? Romain Menu,a professional director, confronted this challenge with a bunch of young competitors, in an movie called "The Noble game", shot during the Languedoc-Roussillon Youth Championship, a qualifying event for the Championship of France.

    In this 26-minute documentary, at the same time beautiful and funny, the director describes, with happiness and fairness, a very special atmosphere of chess competitions, deciphering the emotion behind faces and gestures."
