Retrospectives 2026
The other retrospectives for the 2026 edition will be announced in October.
Judges and Witnesses
Trials and the judicial world are so closely linked to the history of cinema that they are a genre in their own right. From M (1931) to Anatomie d’une chute (Anatomy of a Fall) (2023), through La Vérité (The Truth) (1960), Procès de Jeanne d’Arc (The Trial of Joan of Arc) (1962), A Dry White Season (1989) and Il traditore (The Traitor) (2019), the courtroom has established itself as a favoured setting for the films. It has always fascinated filmmakers, raising questions of staging, and becoming the scene of intense drama where the truth of human beings is played out as much as the truth of facts.
