Ready for a one-of-a-kind date this summer? The Passeurs de Films Festival is returning to Île aux Moines for its 7th edition with an enticing program that mixes open-air screenings, concerts, and enriching discussions.
From July 30 to August 2, 2025, the Île aux Moines will host the 7th edition of the Passeurs de Films Festival, a warm and entirely free event. Initiated by enthusiasts of the 7th art, this festival aims to bring together cinephiles and artists for screenings, as well as an immersive photo exhibition in the island's alleys. Whether you are a film enthusiast or just curious, these days of festivities promise to be a true delight for the senses!
On the schedule are four feature film screenings, all selected from the official line-ups of the prestigious 2025 Cannes Film Festival. These screenings will take place in the enchanting setting of the Guerric Estate park, where the giant screen will light up the starry nights. The festival will open with "Middle Class" by Antony Cordier, a social comedy not to be missed, followed by "Imago," a documentary that captivated the jury at Cannes. Festival-goers will also have the chance to see Joachim Trier's "Sentimental Value," and to get a sneak peek at the Palme d'Or winner, "A Simple Accident" by Jafar Panahi.
These exceptional screenings will be enhanced by the presence of artists. The screenwriters of "Middle Class" will be there for a fascinating discussion after the screening, as will director Déni Oumar Pitsaev for his film "Imago". These moments of exchange are a golden opportunity to delve into the creative universe of the featured films and to better understand the issues that lie behind each work.
Don't miss the mesmerizing concerts of the duo Lili Cros & Thierry Chazelle, performing on July 30th and August 2nd at 9:45 pm. These artists, favorites of the Charles Cros Academy 2025, will undoubtedly create a festive and friendly atmosphere before each screening, adding a unique cultural dimension to the festival.
Alongside the screenings, don't miss the exhibition "Collection Gilles Durieux, a Breton Behind the Scenes of Cinema" which will immerse you in the fascinating world of film production. The photographs will be scattered throughout the picturesque alleyways of the island, creating an immersive artistic experience. A guided tour is scheduled for July 31 at 6 pm to explore the exhibited works and share a convivial moment.
The Passeurs de Films Festival is much more than just a film event. It's an opportunity to interact with the artists, discuss the themes presented in the movies, and reflect on the real impact of cinema on our society. With meetings scheduled at the town hall on July 31, August 1, and August 3, the public is invited to actively participate in the discussion.

Surrounded by the calm waters of the Gulf of Morbihan, this small island provides an idyllic backdrop for enjoying a summer at the movies. The Domaine du Guerric, where the screenings will take place, is surrounded by greenery and tranquil maritime landscapes, creating a soothing and inspiring atmosphere.
One of the major assets of this festival is its free admission, which allows everyone to attend the screenings and events.
