The Youth Film Festival returns for another edition, bringing together three days of cinema, imagination and discovery for children, teenagers and audiences of all ages.

This year's programme explores a variety of cinematic worlds, from animated adventures and fantastical journeys to timeless silent comedy and beloved family classics. Through stories of friendship, courage, growing up and self-discovery, the selection offers young audiences the opportunity to discover different perspectives and experience the many possibilities of cinema.

The festival opens with four short films created by young participants of Metropolis Cinema's six-week Youth Filmmaking Workshop, launched in September 2026. Guided by professional mentors, the participants explored the different stages of filmmaking and brought their own stories to life.

The programme also features Buster Keaton's silent comedy Sherlock Jr., Hayao Miyazaki's Academy Award-winning Spirited Away, and a selection of animated and live-action films including Dounia, Le Grand Pays Blanc, Matilda, Papaya and Hola Frida.

With screenings for different age groups, the festival celebrates cinema as a space for creativity, learning, discovery and shared experiences across generations.
