Festival des Mots à l'Écran: When Cinema Dialogues with Literature

The Festival des Mots à l'Écran was born from the conviction that cinema and literature are two faces of the same art of storytelling. Organized at Ciné 104, Pantin's independent cinema, it offers three days each autumn to explore the links between these two arts—adaptations, transpositions, mutual inspirations.

A Venue in Harmony with the Project

Ciné 104, located in Pantin in Seine-Saint-Denis, is one of the most dynamic art-house cinemas in Île-de-France. Its demanding programming, commitment to independent cinema, and proximity to working-class neighborhoods make it the ideal place to host a festival that aims to make culture accessible to all.

A Program Between the Arts

The festival offers a program that moves freely between cinema and literature:

  • Preview Screenings: Films inspired by literary works, presented exclusively
  • Cinematic Adaptations: Focus on films based on novels, short stories, or plays, with analysis of the transpositions
  • Encounters: Round tables bringing together authors, screenwriters, directors, and actors to discuss the challenges of adaptation
  • Readings: Excerpts from novels read by actors before screenings
  • Literary Dinners: Friendly evenings combining gastronomy and cultural exchange
  • Signings: Signing sessions with invited authors
  • Musical Moments: Acoustic concerts related to the festival's theme

The 3rd Edition in 2026

The 3rd edition of the Festival des Mots à l'Écran will be held in September 2026 at Ciné 104 Pantin, over three days. True to the spirit of previous editions, it will offer a program combining previews, encounters, and moments of conviviality around books and cinema.

The detailed program will be announced in the summer of 2026 on the Ciné 104 website and the festival's social media.

Pantin, Capital of Creation

In just a few years, Pantin has become one of the most dynamic cultural hubs in Greater Paris. La Cité Fertile, the Centre national de la danse, the Dynamo de Banlieues Bleues, the Canal de l'Ourcq, and its numerous art galleries make the city a territory of creation and experimentation. The Festival des Mots à l'Écran naturally fits into this rich and vibrant cultural ecosystem.
