In Lille too, January means big screens. For over 25 years, the Télérama Festival has become one of the most awaited cinema events of the year. For a whole week, it allows us to (re)discover the films that made a mark in the past year, while also sneaking a peek at what’s coming soon to theaters, all at budget-friendly prices.
A week to treat yourself without guilt
Let’s be honest: with ticket prices and a lack of time, catching up on all the films everyone talks about can sometimes be a challenge. The Télérama Festival has solved that problem. In Lille and the Nord region, several art-house cinemas are joining in, including the Métropole, the Majestic, the Pont des Arts, and other partner venues in the region.
The 2026 lineup highlights 16 films carefully selected by the team of…Télérama, among the best of 2025. Notable works celebrated by critics, films that have made waves, and some perfect screenings to form your opinion away from the noise of ultra-commercial releases.

The favorite film of those under 26 is also showing
Here's a fun twist this year: just like in previous editions, those under 26 were invited to vote for their favorite film. The result? One Battle After Another, by Paul Thomas Anderson, takes the lead. An ambitious 2-hour 42-minute thriller, too!
voted by the cinema journalists of Télérama, which has become one of the week's must-attend events.
