A festival committed to the 8th arrondissement

Organizing the "Open-Air Film Festival" in the heart of Parc Monceau is an immense privilege granted each year to our association. From August 5 to 7, between 6 PM and midnight, our priority is to make "auteur cinema" rhyme with "respect for our neighborhood."

         

🌿 Preserving the setting of Parc Monceau

Parc Monceau is a historic monument and a fragile space of biodiversity. For this 5th edition, we are strengthening our commitments:

Waste management: Green brigades circulate before and after each screening to ensure that no waste disturbs the beauty of the lawns.

Respect for nocturnal fauna: The installation of the giant screen and the light markings are designed to minimize the impact on the birds and small mammals of the park.

Silence, we're filming: For the comfort of the residents of the 8th arrondissement, we use a "low intensity" directional sound system, guaranteeing total immersion for the spectators without any noise nuisance for the neighborhood.

         

🥖 Synergy with our local partners

The festival is not limited to the screen; it brings a whole neighborhood to life. We are proud to collaborate with institutional and local actors to boost our arrondissement:

Institutional support: The Paris City Hall and the Ile-de-France Region support us in making this event a model of urban sustainability.

"Festival Special" Baskets: Several partner bakeries and restaurants located near the park offer thematic picnic baskets. An excellent opportunity to discover the flavors of the neighborhood before the show!

         

🌍 The Journey: A responsible theme

         

This year, the theme of "The Journey" invites us to explore the world from our lawn. By prioritizing local cinema, we offer a cultural alternative with a low carbon footprint: escaping to the end of the world while staying at Parc Monceau.

By participating in the festival, you are supporting an event that loves the 7th art as much as the living environment of Parisians. Thank you for helping us keep this meeting as clean as it is magical!
