Rencontre du 7e Art Lausanne

Far from being a competitive festival, the Rencontres 7ème Art Lausanne is a place of passion, emotion and exchange.

The programme focuses on the works of our guests, as well as masterpieces from the world cinema heritage, grouped each year under a theme that establishes a link with the issues of our time. The Rencontres are open to all, and the screenings are all presented on a large screen at a price accessible to as many people as possible.

- An annual international film festival.

- A programme of heritage masterpieces, past and present. 

- A rich exchange with a large and varied audience. 

- Prestigious guests whose work has left its mark on the history of cinema, taking part in fascinating encounters.

- A platform for meetings and exchanges between professionals, students and the public, thanks to the active involvement of the Grandes Ecoles. 

- A strong human experience and a place for intergenerational transmission.

Les amis des Rencontres du 7e Art

The Association des Amis des Rencontres du 7e Art is like the credits of a great cinema story. It gives it precious impetus and contributes directly to the reputation of the festival, which celebrates the heritage of the moving image in the humanist spirit of the history of the 7th Art.

Throughout the year, Les Amis des Rencontres du 7e Art Lausanne organises events linked to cinema in general, with private screenings and previews. These events are usually held alternately in Geneva and Lausanne. The association is also an opportunity for its members to meet personalities from the world of cinema and to become part of the Rencontres du 7e Art Lausanne family, founded and chaired by Vincent Perez.
