The festival runs non-stop from midday to midnight every day on the grounds around CERN’s iconic Globe, with a 10am start on Saturday and Sunday. Feeling peckish? A café will be available with a lunch and dinner meal service as well as refreshments throughout the event. The entire programme is free of charge; sign-up is only required for weekend workshops.

Five days of open air cinema!
Short films – open air
The short film sessions will be shown on an LED screen in the shadow of CERN iconic Globe building, starting at midday on 3/4/5 July and 10am on 6/7 July (the weekend showings start with our special Youth programme) and running until about 21h30 each day, until it’s time to settle in for the feature of the day! Transat seating will be available throughout the day on a first-come, first-served basis.
Short films for kids
In parallel to our Fiction and Documentary sessions, our selection of Youth short films will show throughout the day in CineGlobe very own mobile screening room, the Cinema Caravan. Younger viewers will be delighted by these films lasting up to ten minutes each in a unique setting.

The film will begin once the sun has set, around 22h15.
Transat seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. A limited number of transats can be booked for free online:
