Film festival, World Tattoo Festival, artistic performances focused on body inclusivity, an engaging Comedy Club… we promise, February will make winter fly by at top speed with a multitude of cultural events, each more tempting than the last. Here are the ones that particularly caught our attention. 


1. The CinéBaltique Festival at L'Arlequin

For the first time in its history, the festival of Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian cinema CinéBaltique is making its mark in the French capital, at the L'Arlequin cinema. From February 6 to 9, about ten screenings of short and feature films will be presented to the Parisian audience. This is a fantastic opportunity to discover a selection of bold and innovative films that showcase the vitality and originality of Baltic cinema, with the presence of many guests, filmmakers, and personalities from Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia.

Highlights of the festival include the opening nights, in partnership with the cinephile festival Regards Satellites, featuring the director Saulė Bliuvaitė, who will unveil her latest masterpiece TOXIC ;&nb .sp;and closing, animated by producer Marianne Ostrat (Smoke Sauna Sisterhood) and directors Anna Hints and Tushar Prakash.

3. The IMA Comedy Club

Humor is one of those expressive forms that allows us to re-evaluate current events, daily life, love or society with a cheerful, edgy, and sometimes provocative style, but always accessible to everyone. The Comedy Club of the Institut du Monde Arabe (IMA) embraces this mission: to celebrate a borderless and committed humor through the voices of many Francophone and Arabophone artists.

From January 29 to February 2, head over to the IMA for a series of galas and solo performances brought to you by the hilarious Hakim Jemili, Lucie Carbone, Luciole de feu, Reda Saoui, and Abdelkader Secteur.
