The 12^th Les Arcs Film Festival will be placing the emphasis on Alpine Cinema from regions of France, Switzerland and Italy, notably with a selection of co-production projects and numerous guests who will be introducing new energies and film-makers who can be counted on in these regions.

Mindful of social issues, in 2019 the Festival launched the Cinema Green Lab, an opportunity to bring out ideas and to establish good eco-responsible practices. Through events involving professionals (workshops, presentations of initiatives, think tanks …) and the public (round tables with prestigious guests appropriate to the topic, the award of a prize to the maker of a film which stirs people’s consciences…), the organisers would like to play an active part in seeking solutions for the world of cinema and to make use of this powerful medium to send out messages and to raise collective awareness.

Les Arcs Film Festival is also advancing the place of women in the world of cinema through the Lab Femmes de cinéma.

The Talent Village will be back for the 2020 festival. It supports bold young European film-makers on the way towards making feature films, thus contributing to the emergence of a strong European culture carried by young visionary talent.

To find out the selection of films in the competition, the jurors and guests of honour, you’ll have to be patient a while longer.
