Les Arcs Film Festival is a committed and activist festival, which brings societal issues and cinema together, thanks to original initiatives as the Cinema Green Lab - on the green issues- and the Lab Femmes de cinema - working on gender equality. Our programming focused on European cinema is also the opportunity to show « a concrete and cultural Europe » thanks to a diverse and creative industry that shows a mosaic European citizens make up together.
