CINEMANIA
French-language cinema · Montreal, Quebec, Canada
The festival
Founded in 1995, CINEMANIA is Montreal's great celebration of French-language cinema: for twelve days, screens across the city show the best French-language films from Quebec and the whole French-speaking world, often in North American premiere and in their original version with English subtitles. Features, documentaries and shorts, masterclasses, meetings with film crews and red carpets: a festival of cinema in French, in the heart of the Montreal fall.
