From Saturday the 12th to Sunday the 20th of October 2024, the 16th edition of the Lumière Film Festival will be held in some forty movie theatres and entertainment venues in Lyon and its metropolitan area. The venues are eager to be a part of this great fête, which will be even grander this year as it celebrates the 15th anniversary of its existence.
All year round, passing on cinema heritage to young audiences is the main mission of the Lumière educational department, and a priority for the festival.
Every year, over 5,000 students attend screenings of films, which are introduced by artists who come to share their passion for the 7th art. The festival features retrospectives, tributes, restored prints, rereleases of forgotten films, encounters and discussions with filmmakers, actors and authors...
Don't miss this opportunity to take advantage of this preeminent cinema experience for you and your students!
