L’Arlequin will welcome to Paris, from January 24 to 28, 2024, the films in the International Competition of the 45th edition of the Festival des 3 Continents for the second year running.
The Festival des 3 Continents was held in Nantes and the Loire Atlantique region from November 24 to December 3.
Since its creation in 1979, the Festival des 3 Continents has gained international renown and established itself as a pillar of French cinephilia.
Each year, the festival takes the pulse of contemporary cinematic creation through the revelation of essential works and filmmakers from Africa, Latin America and Asia.
L’Arlequin once again invites Parisian audiences to discover the films selected in the International Competition at the 45th edition of the festival.
Cinéma l’Arlequin – 76 rue de Rennes, Paris 6e
