Driven by the conviction that cinematic experience is also one of sharing, Artistic Director Jérôme Baron and the Festival team are delighted to welcome audiences in person once again:
“We hope that the rich and varied programme of the 44th Festival des 3 Continents will draw large audiences to movie theatres, as was the case last year. If we can contribute to this trend, we will be delighted.
The number of cinemas that have partnered with the event is, in itself, a testimony to our common belief that audiences should experience movies on the big screen. Many previously unscreened or extremely rare works are featured in the 2022 selection, which means there are many discoveries in store for audiences. The core principle is: stay curious!”
In addition to the International Competition and Special Screenings, audiences can enjoy a host of other events including an homage to renowned Japanese filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda, in attendance at this year’s edition and whose documentary works are still little known; a voyage through Indian cinema from 1970 to 1990; and for the first time ever, a complete retrospective of the works of Mike De Leon, a master figure in Filipino film. Festivalgoers will also have an opportunity to dive headfirst into the prolific and marginal work of Argentinian filmmaker Raúl Perrone and to enjoy the A Family Resemblance programme.
