2021 Opening Ceremony
MILLENIUM IN CINEMAS
Last fall, Millenium 2020 was the last festival before the cinemas closed. We are pleased to be the first festival to invite you back to theaters to discover the best of the 2021 edition.
Join us from June 10 to 20 to celebrate the return of cinema and (re)discover the beauty of films on the big screen. And let's share together the pleasure of experiencing culture and exchanging the emotions and ideas that the selected films arouse!

OPENING FILM - A Thousand Cuts - by Ramona S. Diaz

"Disinformation vs. free press: who are the big winners?"
