The documentary meetings of the Forum des images:

Weekly meeting : Every Tuesday.
Documentary cinema, a cinematic genre with multiple forms and writings, occupies a special place in the programming. Every Tuesday, two sessions are devoted to it. These 100% doc evenings bring together heritage works, previews, new films in theaters and meetings with filmmakers.
2. Documentary on the big screen
Monthly appointment : the first Tuesday of the month
The first Tuesday of the month, carte blanche is given to the Documentary on the big screen association. Thirty years ago, this chosen name sounded like a slogan for the very young association. Today, if the vitality and creativity of this young cinema no longer needs to be proven, its diffusion on the big screen remains an ardent challenge.

Punctual appointment.
On several evenings during the season, the Simone de Beauvoir Audiovisual Center presents films from its collection of international documentaries on the history, rights and creation of women and LGBTQ+. Screenings in the presence of the directors and followed by a debate.

9 p.m.: The Song of the Forgotten, by Luc Decaster
Paying the price of a cruel relocation, the Semperit factory in Argenteuil closes its doors. The politicized community of its workers is dissolved by force of circumstances.
