How about a free film festival on the rails in Paris? If you've never heard of the Gare aux docs event, then it's time to catch up, cinephiles. From July 4 to August 30, 2025, La REcyclerie, an eco-responsible venue located on the railroad tracks of this former station on the Petite Ceinture in Paris, will host the eighth edition of this open-air documentary festival , offering a unique insight into a variety of committed themes.
Presented on the big screen and under the stars as night falls, the festival promises a memorable cinematic experience that observes the fight for living things, thanks to a sensitive and political selection, from independent documentaries to spectacular naturalist productions, as well as field productions documenting current ecological and social struggles through educational or militant means.
Screenings are free and by reservation only, starting at 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Registration for each screening is open the morning before each screening, guaranteeing access to as many people as possible.
