Fanny Bastien and Geoffroy Thiebaut founded the Festival du film insolite, the 9th edition of which will take place from August 3 to 7. Rennes-le-Château, capital of the unusual par excellence, associates the whole territory. Encounter.

Why is the Festival du film insolite more than just a meeting place for film buffs?

FB : Already eight past editions where we have experienced a thousand adventures. But what marks our editions is the phenomenal encounter between the public and the actors, directors, writers or producers on the occasion of conferences, round tables, presentations instituted or casual encounters in the streets of the partner villages. It is a festival that aims to be convivial, creative and fragrant. On the program, we screen a selection of unusual feature films, documentaries and short films on the annual theme of an element of the universe that enchants the public, stimulates the imagination and creativity. The international competition for unusual short films and documentaries, unusual short film scripts with several prizes (jury, public in particular).
