The municipal library of La Servette offers a vast collection of books and audiovisual materials, divided into a youth section and an adult section, where visitors can also browse a variety of newspapers and magazines. It regularly organizes a range of cultural activities and events.
Alain Wirth’s observational documentary follows market gardeners Pierre‑Gilles and Antoine as they cultivate Praz Bonjour, an agroecological permaculture farm above Vevey. Through intimate, textured frames and patient pacing, the film maps daily labour, small triumphs and mounting frustrations—climate change, pests and financial strain—without resorting to rhetoric. It explores resilience, care and the ethical urgency of making a living from the land, offering a tactile portrait of commitment, doubt and the fragile hope that sustains communal practice.
Directed by Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud, Persepolis adapts Satrapi’s graphic memoir into a stark, black-and-white animated portrait. Following young Marjane from 1978 Tehran through exile in Vienna and adolescence, the film traces personal and political upheaval without sensationalism. Its graphic-novel rhythms, bold contrasts, and intimate close-ups create a textured emotional register that balances irony, grief and resilience. Themes of identity, displacement and coming of age are rendered with austere beauty and lively wit, giving the story a clear, unforgettable voice.
