Every autumn, during the All Saints' vacation, Paris becomes the capital of children's cinema thanks to Mon Premier Festival. Created on the initiative of the City of Paris and supported by the Enfances au cinéma association, this not-to-be-missed event has been offering a plunge into the world of 7ᵉ art for the youngest spectators for over twenty years. With its affordable rates, eclectic programming and friendly events, it's as much for children aged 2 and over as for their families curious to share emotions on the big screen.
Mon Premier Festival doesn't just screen films. It has strong values: introducing children to the language of cinema, promoting access to culture for all, and raising awareness of contemporary issues. Each edition is part of an eco-responsible and inclusive approach: films with audio description, subtitled screenings, PRM accessibility, organic and vegetarian snacks, eco-designed signage... Everything is designed to combine conviviality, openness and respect for the environment.
The festival brings together a network of Parisian art-house cinemas and cultural venues, enabling families to discover the diversity of the city's cinematic heritage while exploring its neighborhoods. Year after year, the festival supports a new generation of cinema-goers, helping to instill a taste for cinema from an early age.
From October 22 to 28, 2025, Mon Premier Festival returns for its 21ᵉ edition. This year's theme is "Les yeux plus gros que l'écran" ("Eyes bigger than the screen"), a joyful and committed theme that questions our relationship with nature, consumption and eating well. In all, over 100 films will be screened in 18 partner venues, at the single price of €4.50. School screenings will also take place from October 13 to 17.
This year's event takes place at 18 partner venues, including several of the capital's most emblematic cinemas: Le Luminor Hôtel de Ville, Le Studio des Ursulines, Le Louxor, Les 7 Parnassiens, Le Majestic Bastille, MK2 Quai de Seine, MK2 Gambetta, Le Chaplin Denfert and Le Cinéma des Cinéastes. The Forum des images, the Cinémathèque française and the Agence du court métrage will also be hosting special screenings.
Since its inception, Mon Premier Festival has established itself as the ideal gateway to cinema for the very young. By combining entertainment, education and commitment, every year it offers a unique collective experience and helps build a shared cinematic culture. The 2025 edition pursues this mission with enthusiasm, offering an ever more inclusive and responsible program, true to the spirit of the festival.
