Over 30 years of existence
Every year since 1993, ACID - the Association of Independent Cinema for its Distribution - takes part in the International Film Festival of Cannes and showcases 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 that they can be screened in cinemas all over France.
A rich and eclectic lineup
Get ready, because the lineup is looking fabulously rich! The festivities will kick off on Friday, October 3, 2025, with the screening at 6 PM of The Life After Siham by Namir Abdel Messeeh, a poignant story of grief set between Egypt and France.
