The films on the bill for the 21st edition
Opening film: La tsigane, sur la route avec Tamèrantong!
For this opening night, the Festival invites you to hit the road and embark on a human and artistic adventure where theatre becomes a powerful space for sharing. A collective experience driven by youth, diversity, and the belief that culture can build connections where borders and prejudice sometimes seek to divide.
Through the journey of the Tamérantong! theatre company, this film takes us across France alongside children and teenagers finding their voices, sharing their stories, and discovering a common future. Through encounters, emotions and commitment, La Tsigane celebrates the power of togetherness and reminds us that art can be a space for freedom, expression and fraternity.
The 2026 Jury of the Festival des 5 Continents
Every year, the Festival entrusts its jury with the exciting task of recognising outstanding works from all five continents. For this new edition, two figures from the world of cinema, with rich and complementary backgrounds, will bring their unique perspectives to the selection:
Olivier Peyon, director, screenwriter and adapter, has built a sensitive and committed body of work, driven by his interest in social, political and societal issues. From Welcome to Arrête avec tes mensonges, including Tokyo Shaking, his films explore human journeys and stories that resonate with our times.
Célia Chemin, actress and director, divides her artistic career between stage and screen. A graduate of ESSEC and ESAD in Paris, she has developed a distinctive and demanding artistic vision, supported by solid experience in cinema and creative work.
Together, they will bring two complementary sensibilities to the jury: one shaped by writing and directing deeply human stories, the other by the experience of acting and artistic creation. Two perspectives united in celebrating a cinema open to the world, its stories, and the people who bring them to life.
