Movies for the Whole Family
For four days, tickets at all participating cinemas are a flat rate of 5 €. That's right—it's the perfect opportunity to enjoy one or more movie sessions, whether solo, with family, or friends. And among the feature films you won't want to miss, you can catch Toy Story 5, Supergirl, Shana — selected for the Cannes Directors' Fortnight —, Le Vertige — the new film by Quentin Dupieux, also selected for the Cannes Directors' Fortnight — or the documentary André is an Idiot — featuring the voice of Kyan Khojandi.

Over 40 Years of History
The Cinema Festival is a long-standing tradition. Created on June 14, 1985 by the Ministry of Culture, the National Federation of French Cinemas, and other industry professionals, this festival allowed participants to purchase a passport booklet “for the price of a movie ticket, which they could then reuse all day, allowing them to benefit from a special rate of 1 franc per screening” (equivalent to 15 cents today), explains the National Center for Cinema and the Moving Image (CNC). The first edition was such a success that the event has continued over the years, evolving in its format and making cinema a central element of French cultural life.
