Over 30 Years of Existence
Every year since 1993, ACID — Association of Independent Cinema for its Distribution — participates in the International Film Festival of Cannes and presents a carefully curated selection of feature films, both fiction and documentaries, from the four corners of the globe. The goal: to give these independent works of the 7th Art the visibility they deserve and to find distributors so they can then be screened in cinemas all across France.
