Cinéfête
Once a year, the media center acts as a local cooperation partner for the nationwide school film festival Cinéfête, which shows a series of feature films and documentaries in the original French.
The 2024 festival took place from November 4 to 6 at the Caligari FilmBühne.

Cinéfête aims to ...
to make it possible to experience French lessons with a difference, to arouse interest in French cinema and to encourage people to engage with a variety of topics.
Cinéfête is ...
a school film series organized nationwide by the French Embassy in cooperation with the AG Kino Gilde e.V.
a package of eight French films in the original version with subtitles, which tours German cinemas for a year and can be used by cinema operators in school screenings for children aged 8-18.

Cinéfête at the Caligari FilmBühne
We have been organizing Cinéfête at the Caligari FilmBühne since 2003.
We do this in close cooperation with various schools in Wiesbaden, the Institut Français in Mainz and the Deutsch-Französische Gesellschaft e.V. in Wiesbaden.
In addition to the statutory age rating and the recommendation of the AG Kino Gilde, we also provide a separate age recommendation. We develop this together with teachers from various schools.
We usually organize a ninety-minute teacher training course at the Caligari FilmBühne shortly after the summer vacations. Here you can get to know excerpts from all the films in the current package. This will give you and your pupils a good basis for choosing the film(s) that are of most interest to you. Pupils are also very welcome to attend this training course!
At the beginning of November, we usually show each film at least once over five days, usually in three screenings in the morning and in the afternoon.
The Cultural Office usually organizes two additional screenings of two of the films on the respective Cinéfête weekend. An opportunity for advanced courses, for example!
