About Filming Art and Architecture Festival
Since 2023, the F’A’A Festival (Filmer l’Art et l’Architecture) has been exploring the intersection of cinema and the arts at the Atomic Cinéma in Aubigny-sur-Nère (Cher). Over several days, the festival offers free screenings of artist films, documentaries, and fiction centered on art and architecture, with each session followed by discussions with directors, artists, art historians, or critics.
The event is hosted by the F’A’A association, which grew out of the Ateliers de Moison.

For its fourth edition, the F'A'A festival brings together art, photography, and cinema at the Atomic Cinéma in Aubigny-sur-Nère. Enjoy seven free screenings, ranging from a portrait of photographer Martin Parr to Sokurov's Francofonia, and including Hayao Miyazaki's take on Aubusson tapestry.
