Today marks the start of the Avignon Film Festival, celebrating European and American independent cinema. Screenings will be held at Cinéma Vox through June 29. Regular admission is €6, but pick up a promotional postcard (right) at the box office to participate in five screenings for €2 per film. All screenings are open to the public.
Though Quentin Tarantino did win the prix tournage for Reservoir Dogs in 1992, don’t expect too many famous faces. Founder Jerome Rudes describes the festival as “an event where we discover movies, not where we see a movie that’s going to be seen [in theaters] the next day or the next week.”
For a schedule, visit the Avignon Film Festival website or stop by the Cinéma Vox box office, 25 Place de l’Horloge.
