Les Arcs Film Festival

The Arcs Film Festival is the fusion of mountains and cinema, with its 15th edition taking place from 16 to 23 December 2023. Imagine opening the slopes, showcasing the wealth of European cinema, and meeting film buffs galore! With over 100 films on the menu, you'll have a hard time deciding which one to see first. Add to that a touch of glamour, concerts, fondues, and even luge and ski races, and you'll find the original, stimulating and warm spirit that is so unique to the Les Arcs festival.

The Arcs Film Festival is also a socially committed festival, with social issues at the heart of its programming. Debates on gender equality and the ecological transition in cinema will be at the heart of the festival. 

This year, the Netherlands will be in the spotlight with films and talent from the Netherlands. The theme of this year's festival is "Cinema as therapy: mental health, in front of and behind the screen". It's an opportunity to find out more about and understand this subject, which is emerging in all areas of our society. The programme will be developed in collaboration with psychiatrist Jean-Victor Blanc, organiser of the Pop&Psy festival.

To mark the 10th anniversary of the Prix Sisley-Les Arcs Femme de Cinéma and honour the 2023 winner, we will be inviting the previous winners to a special event on Thursday 21 December. A precursor at the time of its creation, this prize was designed to highlight the talent of a particularly emblematic European woman director each year, but also to continue, year after year, to question the subject of parity in cinema. So this anniversary will be a chance to take a step back and look at recent developments, with the 10 best spokespeople there are!
