Lumière festival 2017

From Saturday 14 to Sunday 22 October 2017


The 9th edition of the Lumière festival will be held from Saturday 14 to Sunday 22 October in Lyon. Last year, 160,500 festivalgoers attended 397 screenings in 60 venues in the Lyon Metropolis.

The spirit of the festival:

Created in 2009 by the Institut Lumière, the festival has become one of the largest international festivals of classic cinema. Once a year in Lyon, the birthplace of the Cinematograph, the cinema world celebrates the vitality and memory of film, taking a contemporary journey through works of the past (restored films, retrospectives, tributes...). Thanks to all the participating theaters, the festival shines across Lyon and its surrounding area, reaching a wide audience.

397 screenings, 177 films, in 24 municipalities of the metropolis of Lyon.


Screenings introduced by actors, filmmakers, historians, film critics, and by our "Lumière Ambassadors."

The Lumière Award: Chinese filmmaker Wong Kar-wai will receive this year’s Lumière Award, following in the footsteps of Catherine Deneuve, Martin Scorsese, Pedro Almodóvar, Quentin Tarantino, Ken Loach, Gérard Depardieu, Milos Forman and Clint Eastwood.

Retrospectives dedicated to great filmmakers who have made or are still making cinema history, of all genres and all eras.

Invitations to actresses and actors, filmmakers, film music composers.

Restored prints on the big screen in the theater:  See films in the best conditions.

Huge film screenings at the Halle Tony Garnier, the Auditorium of Lyon and the Conference Center.

Places to get together: the Village festival in the Institut Lumière Park, the barge La Plateforme at night... and a mâchon at a restaurant in Lyon!
