More than just an open-air cinema in a unique setting, Branche et ciné offers a truly exceptional cinematic experience. From June 27 onwards, the NFB will be setting up its screenings in the forests of the IDF and Hauts-de-France for screenings under the stars and at the foot of the trees! This magical event will travel to several wooded sites (Fontainebleau, Compiègne, Meudon…) until mid-July!
Branche et ciné, when open-air cinema sets up its screen in the forest
The dark light of dusk, the soothing rustle of leaves and the mysterious silhouette of trees… This open-air cinema has a fabulous setting for its screenings!
Since 2018,Branche et Ciné, a festival organized by the ONF (Office National des Forêts), has set up its mobile screen in the middle of the forest, just as you would pitch a tent for a night under the stars. Each screening is a sell-out, with spectators enthralled by this event that puts forests in the spotlight!
From June 27 onwards, slip on your most comfortable shoes, and even take your woolly sweater with you as you take to the forest paths that will lead you to your evening cinema!
