EntreVues has imposed itself since more than twenty years
as the festival of ambitious cinema, combining a first films competition, theme-based retrospectives and tributes.
It is also a privileged meeting place for audiences and directors
and other professionals of young cinema.



The international competition

 EntreVues, the Belfort International Film Festival, was created in 1986 by Janine Bazin to promote young cinema (first, second or third film). Each year, Catherine Bizern, the artistic director, Jean-Sébastien Chauvin and Bertrand Loutte make their choice among a thousand films more or less. The official competition is the result of this worlwide films selection, short or long length, fictions or documentaries : a certain reflection of young cinema, full of invention and also hesitation, but always in search for new frontiers.

The retrospectives

Each year, theme-based retrospectives and tributes are organized. Michelangelo Antonioni, Marco Bellocchio, Michael Cimino, David Cronenberg, Samuel Fuller, Alain Resnais, Paul Schrader, Jerzy Skolimowski, are some of the directors invited in Belfort since twenty years… Each of them making a free and ambitious cinema.

Cinema lessons, meetings, professional encounters

the festival is a privileged place for discussions about cinema and directors’work. Competition screenings are also followed by discussions between directors and audience.
