To kick off this 36th edition of the festival, which runs from 8 to 13 July, we invite you to join us on Tuesday 8 July at 9pm, in the exceptional setting of the Théâtre Silvain! Preview screening of Kontinental ‘25 in the presence of Radu Jude and Eszter Tompa. Free admission.

For its 36th edition, FIDMarseille remains true to its mission: to spotlight independent cinema that is attentive to the echoes of the contemporary world and to the stories that reveal its fractures, both intimate and collective.

Kaliningrad, a Russian enclave stuck like a knife in the heart of Europe. Camera in hand, the filmmaker retraces his grandfather’s steps. As he strolls along, one encounter follows another, fragments of lives suspended in the shadow of war and censorship.
