By Sabine, 12 june 2026

In France, each year, there is the Fête du Cinéma (Cinema Festival). Organized by the National Federation of French Theaters in collaboration with the Construction Industry (CCCA-BTP), this festival celebrates the movie theater, a place where emotions are more intense thanks to the big screen and Dolby Surround sound.

From Sunday, June 28th to Wednesday, July 1st, cinemas across France will open their doors to welcome audiences at the exceptional price of €5 per screening. For four days, young and old alike can take advantage of this attractive offer to see as many films as they like, whether new releases or films still in theaters. This initiative aims to democratize access to cinema and encourage more people to rediscover the magic of the big screen.

The Fête du Cinéma (Cinema Festival) offers a diverse program to satisfy all tastes. From Hollywood blockbusters like Supergirl, to animated films such as Minions and Monsters, Toy Story 5, to genre films like Obsession, to historical dramas like The Battle of Gaulle and They Called Robin Hood, to french arthouse films like The Caprices of the Child King by Michel Leclerc, there will be something for everyone.

The french Fête du Cinéma is not just an opportunity to see movies  at low prices; it is also a major cultural event that highlights the importance of cinema in our society. Cinema is an art form that allows us to escape, reflect, discover other cultures, and share emotions. This event reminds us how crucial it is to support movie theaters, true places of conviviality and encounters.

Cinemas sometimes take advantage of this time to organize special events: previews, screenings with film crews in attendance, or showings of restored classics. This enticing program transforms the holiday each year into a true celebration of cinema, satisfying both discerning cinephiles and those looking for pure entertainment. Don't miss this french celebration of the seventh art, an annual event that always promises wonderful discoveries and great cinematic moments.
