Created in 2016, Positive Cinema Week has established itself as an important event at the Cannes Film Festival. Under the direction of Sam Bobino, this initiative celebrates engaged cinema that changes the way we look at the world. This year's guests of honor include actress and director Aïssa Maïga and actor Jimmy Jean-Louis, godmother and godfather of the event.
The 10th Semaine du Cinéma Positif offers an eclectic selection of films, ranging from fiction to documentaries, screened at various locations in Cannes, including outlying districts and the CNC beach. The event, which is free and open to the public, aims to democratize access to cinema that conveys strong messages on essential themes such as sport, disability and theenvironment.
In addition to screenings, the Semaine offers round-table discussions, meetings with influential personalities, and awards ceremonies, including the Prix du Cinéma Positif and the Humann Prize. The themes chosen each year reflect a desire to showcase an inclusive and eco-responsible cinema.
The 10th Positive Cinema Week promises to be a highlight of the Cannes Film Festival 2025, celebrating committed and inspiring cinema and offering a platform for artists and citizens to reflect and act together for a better world. Find out more about the program here!
