Campus Film Festival 2025 at Majestic Bastille

For its third edition, the Campus Film Festival 2025 takes over the Majestic Bastille cinema, from April 25 to 27. For the past 3 years, the Campus Film Festival has been programmed by students in the M2 Cinema and Audiovisual Communication program atUniversité Paris 8, with the aim of celebrating the creativity and aspirations of the younger generation, in keeping with the tradition of campus film festivals.

This year, the Campus Film Festival 2025 tackles a strong theme, 'Génération éclatée', as an exploration of youth, its fractures and tensions, in relation to current political issues.

The organization goes on to explain the content of this 2025 edition: "It will explore the experiences of a generation fragmented by multiple forms of violence. Physical, psychological and social violence, suffered or observed, that intrudes into everyday life. The programming is intended to be inclusive and diverse, showing how this violence varies according to social background, gender, ethno-raciality, sexual orientation... This festival aims to showcase films representing a singular facet of youth and its generational issues."
