When cinema meets words
The Festival Cinémots is a unique cinematic event in Périgord Vert, created in 2021 at the Max Linder cinema in Ribérac. The festival aims to cross the worlds of cinema and literature by inviting directors, screenwriters, and writers to discuss their works.
Exceptional screenings and encounters
