Among the must-see feature films during this time will be Toy Story 5, Supergirl, Shana — selected for the Cannes Directors' Fortnight —, The Vertigo — the new film by Quentin Dupieux, also selected for the Cannes Directors' Fortnight — and the documentary André is an Idiot — featuring the voice of Kyan Khojandi.

Over 40 Years of History
The Film Festival has a long and rich history! Established on June 14, 1985 by the Ministry of Culture, the National Federation of French Cinemas, and other industry professionals, this festival originally allowed participants to buy a passbook “for the price of a movie ticket that they could then reuse all day, allowing them to enjoy the special rate of 1 franc per show” (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.
