Festivals and cultural events Vosges

Since 1994, the Gérardmer International Fantastic Film Festival has been thrilling audiences with films based on the unreal, the marvelous and horror. It's a film genre that's found its audience, who turn out in droves to enjoy the scares. The festival's atmosphere is perfectly in tune with the surrounding landscapes of snow-covered fir trees and frozen lakes. But if the chills are present in the darkened halls, the atmosphere is joyful and particularly festive. Each year, the jury is made up of well-known personalities, and tributes are organized for the masters of the genre. The festival offers all kinds of screenings, as well as symposia, exhibitions and events... Its aura extends throughout the region, and during this period cinemas in Metz and Nancy offer a special "fantasy films" program.
