A space for discovering Oceanian cultures
Created in 2007 by the association Cinéma des Ailleurs, Rochefort Pacifique is the only festival in France dedicated to the peoples and cultures of the Pacific. Its ambition: to open a space for discovery, sharing, and reflection far from exotic clichés to better understand Oceanian peoples in all their diversity.
A country honored each year
Each edition highlights a Pacific territory: Fiji, Guam, Easter Island have been celebrated in recent editions. For 2026, the 20th edition will honor Oceania as a whole with two strong themes: transpacific navigation and environmental and climate issues.
Cinema, literature, and encounters
The festival offers screenings of films and documentaries, exhibitions, workshops, and encounters with figures from Oceania. Oceanian events are also organized throughout the year to maintain the link with these cultures.
