Beauvais International Film Festival

European Cinema in the Spotlight

Since 1991, the Beauvais International Film Festival - Regions of Europe has been dedicated to the promotion and distribution of European cinema. Every year in October, for five days, the festival invites the public of Beauvais and beyond to discover the cinematic richness of the European continent.

A Demanding and Eclectic Program

The festival offers a varied program that explores European cinema in all its diversity. Spectators discover classic films, rarities, and treasures of the 7th art alongside previews and recent films. Rather than focusing on a single country, the festival embraces the entire continent, reflecting the European cultural mosaic.

Cine-Concerts

One of the festival's specialties is the programming of cine-concerts, where musicians accompany live screenings of silent films or original audiovisual creations. These unique moments blend cinema and live music, offering a rare sensory experience.

Round Tables and Meetings

Round tables and meetings with directors, actors, and film professionals punctuate the festival. These exchanges allow the public to better understand the issues of contemporary European cinema and discover the behind-the-scenes of film creation.

Short Films

A section dedicated to European short films allows for the discovery of emerging talents in continental cinema. This selection highlights new voices in European cinema and offers a valuable showcase for young directors.

The Association Les Amis du Cinéma

The festival is driven by the association Les Amis du Cinéma in Beauvais, which works throughout the year to promote auteur and European cinema. This activist organization also hosts regular screenings and cinema awareness activities.

Beauvais, Land of Cinema

The Beauvais International Film Festival contributes to the cultural influence of the city and enriches its cinematic offerings. It complements a dynamic cultural ecosystem that makes Beauvais a prime destination for film lovers in the Hauts-de-France region.
