THE «SISLEY/LES ARCS WOMAN OF CINEMA » PRIZE

For the 8th year, the Festival, in partnership with Sisley, will be showcasing a female director who is particularly iconic in European independent cinema by awarding them the «Woman of Cinema » prize. 
Based on the observation that women remain under-represented in some fields of film-making, the object of this prize is to raise awareness of the talents of outstanding women in cinema amongst the media, professionals and the general public.

«MOVING MOUNTAINS» FOCUS

Against the background of the health, economic and social crisis we are going through, we have chosen to devote this year’s Focus  to the theme of commitment. This programme of more than 10 films under the title «Moving Mountains» has been designed to enable us to reflect the current and future changes in society through the lens of good ideas to be shared and actions which may arise from them by using cinema as a tool of  reflection, a window onto Europe  and the challenges of today and tomorrow.
