Tomorrow 2026: Free documentary festival from the French overseas territories at Forum des Images

The Demain festival makes its comeback at the Forum des images from November 4–8, 2026. Organized with France Télévisions’ Overseas division, this second edition features documentaries, talks, and concerts with free admission. Reservations open on October 19 at noon.

Opening night features The Haka Party Incident, with director Katie Wolfe in attendance. The documentary revisits a 1979 Auckland incident sparked by students performing a haka imitation, and the debate it ignited across New Zealand.

The program also features The Empty Grave, Manae Feleu, Captain Futuna, Before the Moon Falls, Kouté Vwa and Mayotte, les échappés de la rue. One screening addresses nuclear issues in French Polynesia, while the conference Penser Demain, with Pierre Rosanvallon, examines the links between democracy, long-term thinking and climate disruption.
