Festivals and cultural events Nantes

Every year since 1979, in November in Nantes, the Festival des 3 Continents offers fiction films and documentaries from Africa, Latin America and Asia. This international film festival, in addition to its geographical particularity, is also distinguished by its passion and curiosity, its taste for discovery and encounters, and overall its love of films from the South and its desire to share them. Founded by the Jalladeau brothers, this event brings together film professionals from all over the world and the informed or amateur public around competitions, previews, short and feature films, retrospectives... It is an opportunity for screenings, conferences, meetings with directors and actors. The selection also includes films for young audiences. Discover the program of the futureedition on the festival website!

A festival for children and their parents, for young and old, but a festival whose primary vocation is to offer shows of the highest quality, a criterion on which the directors Nicolas Marc and Cyrille Planson do not compromise. A festival for which culture from the youngest age is a real issue for society. At the Petits et grands festival, you can attend plays, dance shows, puppet shows, concerts, storytelling, circus... And this, from 6 months. Each family can find the cultural experience that suits them. A festival placed under the sign of the living spectacle, the pleasure and the awakening. And in this, a festival of public interest!

The Art Galleries Nantes association aims to make us discover or rediscover the universe of the various galleries of the City of Ducs and make the world of art accessible! The bet is won for the second year that had seen the Night of Galeries 2017 associate fifteen galleries to this generous project. The concept is relaxed and the event is free. It takes place in April. During your journey you will visit various open exhibition rooms from 8 p. m. to 1 a. m. You can discover live performances, watch poetry readings, watch multiple works and participate in interactive animations, make unusual guided tours, and meet artists. A trip in the nano-artistic nights not to miss!
