35th Edition - Summer 2026
Cinema en Plein Air de La Villette returns for its 35th edition from July 22 to August 16, 2026, on the Triangle lawn of Parc de la Villette. An unmissable and entirely free summer event, the festival screens films on a big outdoor screen every evening, subject to available seating.

The 2026 edition explores the forest as a place of contemplation, a symbol, and a character in its own right, carrying an ecological message. The selection highlights nature, wilderness, adventure, and wide-open spaces, blending cinema classics, animated films, and contemporary works. Announced films include notably The Animal Kingdom by Thomas Cailley, Misericordia by Alain Guiraudie, Okja by Bong Joon-ho, and Arrietty, The Secret World of Arrietty from Studio Ghibli.

Each evening offers two screenings: a family and intergenerational session at 6 PM, followed by a classic session at 9 PM (films may start before nightfall). Deckchair rental is available via La Villette's online ticketing service.
