Festival des 3 Continents

47th Edition — All about love

The 2025 edition of the Festival des 3 Continents placed love at the heart of its program with the theme "All about love". The selection invited the public to explore the complexity of emotional, intimate, and social bonds, and to view love as a living, fragile, political, and transformative force.

The international competition featured feature fiction films and documentaries in their French premiere, judged by a professional jury awarding the Golden Montgolfier and Silver Montgolfier. The Audience Award and the Young Jury Award were also presented.

In parallel, the festival offered special screenings, retrospectives, tributes, and the young audience program "Premiers Pas vers les 3 Continents". The professional segment Produire au Sud hosted its 25th edition, supporting emerging producers in developing their projects.
