10th CALIBÉLULA International Children’s and Youth Film Festival 2026

We joyfully celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Calibélula International Children’s and Youth Film Festival, an experience built together with filmmakers, institutions, and especially with children and teenagers who have found in cinema a means of expression, participation, and transformation.

Throughout this decade, the Festival has grown without losing its essence: wonder, creativity, and a sensitive way of looking at the world. In this commemorative edition, we reaffirm our commitment to new generations by incorporating new forms of audiovisual creation and opening space for narrative and technological innovation.

FOOD FILMS _ THIS YEAR'S THEME FOR 2026: JAPAN AND ITS CUISINE

This festival, created by cinema and gastronomy professionals, was born from their passion for these two themes; and from 2 books we wrote: 'les petits plats du grand écran' (Little Dishes of the Big Screen) (1999) (Canal + edition) and Ciné-bouffe (Cinema-Food) (2001) (Hors Collection edition); as well as from a first International Film and Gastronomy Festival that took place in Dijon (2004 and 2005).

It is therefore with a 'gourmand' pleasure that we decided to once again pay tribute, through this festival, to the delicious films (whether sharp or savory) evoking gastronomy, and to the most exquisite table scenes, to try to understand why and how they were 'cooked' by the directors who imagined them.
