Comedy film festival

The 30th anniversary of the Alpe d’Huez Comedy Film Festival

From January 18 to 24, 2027, we will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the festival! This week promises to be full of colors, laughter, emotion, and comedy! It’s the popular genre in cinema that everyone loves!

The Alpe d’Huez International Comedy Film Festival has become a reference since 1997. It brings together on the big screen box-office successes, unknown gems and short formats. Laughter and good humor are guaranteed! The essential of this event? Preview and free films within the limit of available seats! Even if this first cultural event of the year occupies a prominent place for film professionals, the press and partners, the general public has an equally important place. There were more than 20,000 admissions during the last editions with a constant increase in attendance. Comedy – yet still snubbed and little honored – is undoubtedly the most popular and unifying film genre of the 7 art! This situation thus reinforces the Alpe d’Huez Festival to offer free admission for all screenings. It is an extremely rare feature for a Film Festival.

The festival programme is composed of numerous screenings, short and feature films, highly anticipated films, but also discoveries, ‘UFOs’, and spotlight shots on international comedy, or on talents with devastating humor. The screenings take place all day in the rooms of the Palais des Sports & des Congrès de l’Alpe d’Huez. They are free to access within the limits of available seats. Additionally, the film selection is screened as a national preview in the presence of the film teams.

The official program, its schedules, animations and events “100% cinema”, are communicated at the beginning of each year.
