< GABES CINEMA FEN 2021 | CINÉMA

The programming outside the Agora and the cultural complex of the city of Gabes caters to the festival’s desire to broaden its scope and anchor itself in the region. This initiative evolves with each new edition. In 2019, screenings were organized in 2 neighboring delegations (El Hamma and Mereth).

This year, the festival aims to be present in 5 new delegations around Gabes by programming 2 screenings in each of the places, in partnership with the Cultural Centers of the delegations (El Hamma, Mereth, New Matmata, Ouedhref and Metouia).

In addition, and for the first time, screenings are planned in specific settings:

- A screening are scheduled in the Gabes prison, which holds 600 inmates.

- An immersion in the world of VR, 2-3 days prior to the festival, will be offered to the inmates of the Gabes prison, which holds 600 inmates.

These events are a first initiative which marks the beginning of collaborations that the festival hopes will last in the long term.
