Cinema Festival: Brive International Medium Film Meetings

Every year, Brive hosts the Cinema Festival: international medium-length film meetings.  The 21th meetings will take place from April 8 to 13, 2024 at the Rex Cinema.

It is a space where professionals can interact together but also directly with the public. The Brive Cinema Festival also aims to bring out new talents in filmmaking by showing works made in this format that is both free and demanding.

What is a medium length film?

Medium length is a film format of 30 to 60 minutes. Created in 2004, the Brive International Medium-length Film Meetings are the first film festival dedicated to this format.
