In addition to in-cinema discussions, FIDMarseille hosts a daily roundtable each afternoon from Thursday to Sunday, providing an hour to reflect on and explore issues surrounding independent cinema, to take a step back and examine the editorial choices of the festival’s 36th edition, and to delve deeper into the questions it raises.

In partnership with les Cahiers du cinéma and Radio Grenouille.
