Café Cinemed is a film-screening event held at Gazette Café in Montpellier, in the Occitania region of southern France. It brings together short films that won awards at the 48th Cinemed festival, including the Audience Prize and the Youth Jury Prize.
What the evening offers
- A screening of award-winning short films from the Cinemed festival
- A discussion with the youth jury that chose one of the prize-winning films
- A relaxed setting in a café, rather than a conventional cinema hall
The discussion that follows the screening gives visitors a chance to hear how the young jurors approached their choices. The event is supported by the association Alisé Gammes.
Visiting Montpellier
Gazette Café is in Montpellier, a city whose festivals, university life and lively centre make it a good base for a cultural evening. Because this is a single event rather than a permanent attraction, it suits visitors who are already in the city during the screening dates, or who want to plan a trip around it.
For the latest details on dates and programming, the café's agenda page is the most useful source. It lists the screenings and events Gazette Café hosts, and it is the best place to check before you go.
